“You can increase your risk of getting it by wearing a mask if you are not a health care provider,” Adams said during an interview on Fox & Friends on Monday morning.
From Twitter, “Seriously people- STOP BUYING MASKS!
They are NOT effective in preventing general public from catching #Coronavirus, but if healthcare providers can’t get them to care for sick patients, it puts them and our communities at risk!

Do these people actually read what they have written before posting it? Don’t buy masks because they are ineffective, and besides, if you buy those ineffective masks, our health care professionals won’t be able to buy them.
Good Lord.

Healthcare professionals wear masks not so much to keep from catching some disease but to keep from spreading disease A from one patient to another patient and disease B from the second patient to a third patient.
Masks worn by healthcare workers are worn for THE PROTECTION OF PATIENTS. The typical moron in the streets wearing a mask to ‘keep from getting sick’ is WASTING MONEY. Because they don’t wear it properly, they wear it for DAYS AND DAYS in a row which just carts the bugs in it all over the place and the mask gives them a false sense of security….so they
forgo the BEST measure to stay safe……good hand hygiene.

@Dan,
I don’t disagree with the hand hygiene issue, but my daughter is a health care provider. They wear masks for BOTH reasons, not just one.
It’s BOTH-AND, not EITHER-OR. And yes, you have to be trained on how to wear the mask correctly.
