Can't remember the last time I seen anybody wearing one of those in public let alone a doctor/politician of any sort up on TV in front of millions of viewers. |
As I stated, and as it has been stated correctly, this is a droplet-level-isolation virus. SARS of all varieties is listed on the back of aerosolized/respiratory isolation cards because it depends on the treatment modality being used, which may aerosolize the virus, such as during nebulized treatments. Furthermore, as healthcare providers, we often have to treat patients who are not wearing a mask, while having our face within six inches of their face, so we have enhanced security measures, and it is why SARS is on airborne isolation cards, even though it is droplet isolation disease, no different than the flu in how it spreads, yet much more virulent. In fact, the flu can be listed on droplet and airborne isolation cards depending on how virulent it is in a given season, and how virulent it is during aerosolized treatments. An actual aerolsized virus that is highly contagious is the measles, and yet this is the proper PPE mask, so I don't know why are you getting so exaggerated:
