Let’s pause for a second, and remember two major #stigma spreading around as contagiously as #COVID19. 🦠
1️⃣Ethnicity of the virus and
2️⃣wearing #PPE
I’m addressing 2️⃣ today, but for more guidance on 1️⃣, & more social Do’s and don’ts, please refer to 👉unicef.org/documents/soci…

To summarize the ongoing debate: “Absence of evidence is NOT evidence of absence”. A half full glass 😷 can be better than none at all. This 🏴&🏳️ system is leading to two issues:
1️⃣ opportunity to incentivize PPE production is lost
2️⃣ STIGMA against those who choose to don.

If you have 12 minutes to spare, enjoy this well illustrated thesis on the topic, it might change your mind. @medpedshosp
It seems counter-intuitive a rather simple effort to #FlattenTheCurve further is not encouraged.
Would there be more leniency towards accepting the donning of the surgical mask if the economy crisis forces political backdown on the total lockdow?

The debate about the optimal use of #PPE in face of #PPEshortage has been recently fueled with a preprinted study from Nebraska “almost” pinning the nail on the #airborne transmission potential of the #SARSCoV2 virus. Shoutout to @eddyjoemd for constant updates.
Of course, crisis like in Italy and New York are what keeps us from blatantly using #PPE, especially with real #PPEshortage.
That’s not to say that Stigma against those who do is allowed ‼️
People, and caregivers, want to protect themselves and their loved one at all cost.
