AA not letting their employees wear masks.

I think we all should be wearing masks. Probably eye protection too at times.

Jetblue allowing as well.

From what I can tell Southwest is as well. Also curtailing all cabin service period.

American did that years ago.

These masks don’t work at all so I would think it should be a moot point really...

that’s why all the doctors and nurses working with Coronavirus wear them! It’s more fun to breathe through fabric.

They are not worthless if replaced at the required interval and worn properly, something most people NOT in the medical profession are totally unaware of.

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.

Storage of Previously Worn Disposable N95 Respirators:
 After removing N-95, visually inspect for contamination, distortion in shape/form. If contaminated/wet, creased or bent, N95 should be discarded.
Updated 3.19.20

o If the N95 is NOT visibly contaminated or distorted, carefully store to avoid destroying the shape and consistency of the mask.
o The N95 should be stored in a well-ventilated container (i.e., paper bag with handles) with user name & date.
o A disposable N95 can be worn for several hours and multiple shifts if not wet or distorted, not touched while delivering patient care, and not involved in an aerosol-generating procedur

Jetblue here. I have an N95 and replacement filters. Believe me, I'm going to wear that damn thing all over the place when I go back to work. In full uniform. If they want me to hang out in the epicenter of this mess, I'm going to play it up. I hope it looks silly and scary to whatever dumbass decides they need to get to Florida that day. It may even be the first stand up PA I do in YEARS.

SHUT IT DOWN.

Just to be clear, the mask my wife was referring to that should not be worn more than 20 minutes is the basic mask we all see people wear out on the street, NOT the N95. People wear those all day long and think they're protecting themselves and the people around them. They aren't, unless they change them out about three times per hour.
