We don't know for sure. The nurses wouldn't tell us, we couldn't communicate electronically, and the doctors rarely (maybe never)?
My wife has more info than I do on the subject, will ask when she's in a better place.
It would probably depend on if the door still lets folks out. The retail stores I worked at, all the auto doors had one way settings. E.g. open if approached from the inside, but not the outside.
If they are physically blocked, it might be worth a quick call to the fire marshal to voice your safety concern.
here's the study I read. It talks about 12 to 16 layers, amd the confidence of helping is low, as is the observed effect. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)31142-9/fulltext

Looks like it's 12 to 16 layer, i misremembered that part.
For the four people you mention, how was their health prior to the virus?
For the masks, please provide your source on their effectiveness.
I have read several studies on masks. The most commonly cited one is specifically talking about 7 to 12 layer cloth masks tested in a hospital setting. Their results showed the masks were of marginal effectiveness, and the confidence in that result was low.
Their have been many past studies on the effectiveness of masks in relation to other disieases transferred through respiratory droplets, and the result has always been that the marginal benefits were outweighed by the risks of prolonged mask wearing.
100% agree. My wife went for a two year accounting degree and let the school counselor assign her classes. Come to find out the last four classes the scholl planned for her had to be taken in order...
Making a 2 year degree a 3.5 year degree and taking only one class a semester for the last 3 semesters.
I will also give you a back pat, fellow pede. Well done!
