Thank you very much for the question.
I think there is a plus and minus. When I was in the Ebola centre, I must say that with my haz-mat suit in west Africa and the DRC, I felt almost safer than being in my ER in Montreal, because I knew I was protected and I knew that if I was doing the right thing, infection would not happen.
The thing is, we're not in this kind of environment. The downside of those kinds of haz-mat suits is that you are dehumanizing health care, and patients don't like it. People don't like to have cosmonauts take care of them. You cut the human factor out of caring, much more than if you only have a shield with an N95 mask and a sort of vest on top.
I think if we were to have a really dedicated structure, where people could work in a room temperature that would be, I would say, bearable for everybody, maybe this is something you could entertain, especially for the ICU, where there's a lot of aerosolized particles and you are much more at risk of being infected. I don't think I would do that for all the front-line workers; I think it would be a bit over the top.
