They wear them not to prevent airborne disease but to protect the wearer from being splattered by blood and other potentially infectious materials that are spewed about in an ICU.
Remember the masks are to prevent you spreading your illness to others. Plastic shields are to protect the wearer against large material, not viruses.
This is a bit of an over simplification.. but essentially correct.
