Starting to see non-clinicians post pics of themselves in surgical and n95 masks. Honestly, it's like seeing a non-diabetic taking a selfie with a bunch of insulin. We can all keep safe without those masks, but our nurses can't.

If this seems like a contradiction to you, here's why it isn't. I can avoid getting too close to anybody when I need to go out. Our doctors and nurses literally cannot do their jobs without touching their patients, which brings them into the blast-radius for coughs.

I know a lot of people think they're doing the right thing wearing medical masks to do their shopping. But you truly don't need one for that purpose, there are much better ways to protect yourself and others. Please leave the medical masks for the medical staff!
