Politicians do, but not the scientists, and then hearing Dr. Drummond, I'm shaking my head. When you do not know for certain how the virus is transmitted, that is when you up your personal protection equipment. It is not when you bring it down.
That is where the frustration lies. If you don't call having two surgical masks given to you at the beginning of your shift to wear for 12 hours or more rationing, we have a problem here. If there's miscommunication between the federal and provincial levels and then every employer in the country is doing it differently.... Even in Ontario, where they have very specific agreements with the health care unions and the government and employers on the PPE, there are still differences.
We have stories of nurses being given a paper bag to put their masks in to bring back home for the next day. We're in 2020 and we are not in a shortage today. We're worried about tomorrow and we need to protect our workers today and get the equipment in for today, because they will be dropping like flies, just like physicians, just like the rest of the health care team.
