    She should be forced to work in an emergency room as a first responder....maskless.....my bet is she is flush with blue chip stocks and doesn't want biz to shut down again...sort of what Trump tried when it first arrived...."a few folks will get the sniffles and it'll be gone by spring" Donald Trump Feb...2020...with the election coming up the GNP was way more important to his campaign than locking down the economy for public safety

    She's an emergency room physician. She's saying we should only be using medical grade masks and that cloth masks are useless.

    medical grade masks are what people are wearing....a bandana isn't a medical grade mask nor is a T shirt pulled up over your face....she should know this but the title to that tweet implies masks are useless and that's bullshit....there's a reason surgeons wear them in surgery ...I agree that bandanas are not safe....

    It clearly says cloth masks. Not all masks.

    medical masks are made from cloth as well...it's how they're made...not that they're cloth...they have vents sewn into them so to the casual reader of the tweet....she says masks are decorative but actually even a bandana will provide some resistance to moisture breathed out by an infected person...I agree that cloth is not a medical mask but medical masks are made from cloth material ...just designed to offer more protection than a single cloth will...I'm sure most treated blue and white masks are also made from polymer fibers. What she seems to imply is that porous masks aren't effective protection.....do you really think an anti masker reading her tweet would dig any deeper than the caption of the tweet? Doctor says mask is decorative! cloth, rayon, silk, cardboard or plastic.....the caption is going to send the wrong msg in my view

    Almost two years in and we're still discussing the effectiveness of masks. I feel like we're just on repeat now. GROUNDHOG DAY!

    medical face masks are made with blown materials instead of woven material...they can use polymers, or many types of base material to make a mask that's not porous...most black cloth face masks people buy in stores are vented with 3 overlapping layers...it's the design that provides the protection and in case of cloth medical masks.....coating to make them non porous.....I agree one layer cotton masks don't do shit....but 3 layer treated cloth masks do......maybe try and follow my point next time.....I initially made a snarky post to el prez about the tweet because of the title and what the reaction to it would be....not that that was all there was to it but hey.....I know you have an evidence locker somewhere around here......twitter is media not science

    What about panties? Because there was a very respectable individual on a plane who said it worked.

    I mean, listen: We talking about panties. Not a mask. Not a mask. Not a mask. We talking about panties. Not a mask. Not the mask that I go out there and die for and wear every mask like it's my last. Not the mask. We talking about panties, man.
