The reason medical professionals wear masks is for the off chance that they
might sneeze or cough. It keeps the bodily fluids contained.

With most masks, you can blow out candle or match through them. If you can
do that, it's not going to stop those teensy little germs.

Angela is only allowed one N95 mask per week. That's not good! Normally they
are changed with every patient. She also has to wear a face shield now.
