MY wife is a long time ICU nurse. She says they are told their masks are only good for 20 minutes. So, yea, anybody out in the general population wearing them is basically wearing something considered worthless by the medical establishment after 20 minutes. Additionally, those in the medical profession who wear N 95 masks are FITTED for them every year, so unless a random person out in the wild was also fitted, their N 95 masks are probably not sized properly and are probably put on and worn without the care intended.

She also says she’s being reassigned to ICU despite working only in the OR her entire 22 year career. I’m B6 and won’t be masking up.

AA not letting their employees wear masks.
I think we all should be wearing masks. Probably eye protection too at times.

But, just had to, as UAL/DAL schedule changes and cancellations made the AA schedule my only decent option...it was to fly into YYZ, to operate out...

It may even be the first stand up PA I do in YEARS.
