@tongalumina Well perhaps if the importance of effective masks/respirators and proper fit were communicated by "leaders" , along with with fact #COVIDisAirborne wearers would do differently. Instead, too much weak, oversimplistic messaging that ignores transmission & #prevention. realities

@tongalumina It matters, a lot, what kind of mask is being worn to prevent transmission. Surgical masks not for airborne pathogens.

@tongalumina And btw physician @jvipondmd would very much like people to wear N95s to prevent transmission & infection and keep people out of hospital.

@tongalumina @jvipondmd And so would @DFisman as evidenced here: google.ca/amp/s/www.cbc.…

@tongalumina @jvipondmd @DFisman And @nilikm also recommends N95s:
