I thought the same thing, given the limited supply of effective masks. But then health care workers etc are front line, deal very closely with infected people. I wouldn’t begrudge them anything to protect themselves.

Nevertheless, I take every precaution, myself. I’m giving this virus a heck of a hard time finding me.
