Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 25477728 United States 10/04/2014 04:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Typically, the only time I've ever seen people wearing masks, before this Ebola got out of control, are cancer patients. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 20575401 I am in the Midwest, haven't seen anyone out here yet wearing them, unless I am at work building wind blades! I'm also in the midwest and Des moines is wear I seen them. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 59760548 United States 10/04/2014 05:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Surgical mask provide ABSOLUTELY ZERO protection from Ebola. None. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 63608780 Very true and it appears that the respirator suits are not one hundred percent. Slighly OT - how many of these heath care workers do you think got infected?

LindaE User ID: 63625750 United States 10/04/2014 05:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | We lived for over a year in Japan (40 yrs ago) and even then, when people got a cold, or even feared they might get a cold or be exposed to the flu, out came the surgical masks. Partly it was to protect themselves (however slightly from the germs going around) and partly to show others that they might be contagious, and act accordingly. I haven't seen any in our area yet (Puget Sound) but I'd expect to see some if this thing escalates. |
