You do realize the masks protect you from the crew and not the other way around? CDC recommendations for masks are for those showing symptoms.
From here:
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019...r-use-faq.html- The role of facemasks is for patient source control, to prevent contamination of the surrounding area when a person coughs or sneezes. Patients with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 should wear a facemask until they are isolated in a hospital or at home. The patient does not need to wear a facemask while isolated.
