Same thing happened to me at the hospital this week. They made me swap my neck gaiter for a surgical mask because "what you are wearing doesn't protect you". The fucking surgical mask doesn't protect you either! Just last week with the fires here these same medical authorities flat out stated that only N95 masks are effective in filtering out the ash particulates. Those particulates are HUGE compared to a virus, but that surgical mask is going to keep me safe from the WuFlu. Fucking clowns.
