Starting to see non-clinicians post pics of themselves in surgical and n95 masks. Honestly, it& #39;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& #39;t.

If this seems like a contradiction to you, here& #39;s why it isn& #39;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& #39;re doing the right thing wearing medical masks to do their shopping. But you truly don& #39;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!
