Agree. Masks in the other hand...we’d be able to save more VA patients if we could somehow convince them (and all of us) to wear masks, and have enough masks to freely give to everyone.
Yeah, I get that “casual” face mask wearing won’t do a lot to protect the wearer from contracting the virus, but if everyone was wearing a masks, that would reduce transmission by know AND unknown carriers. I’m somewhat frustrated wearing masks for this reason is not mandated.
