I'm a nurse. I've had plenty of face to face contact with COVID-19 positive patients and have a pretty solid grasp on how I should protect myself and others from infection. Also, 99% of health care professionals I know in real life are pretty similar in their blatant disregard for mask wearing.
Please, though, keep acting like the masks are what's preventing this and not social distancing. 90% of patients that I've taken care of that have been positive wear masks. Probably a third of those also wear gloves. Meanwhile, my non wearing mask in public self has somehow managed to not get it yet. Weird, right?
Free tip of the day - if you're wearing a mask because you think it prevents YOU from getting it, you're wearing it for the wrong reason. If someone is close enough to get droplets on your face, it'll also be absorbed by your conjuctiva so you're going to get it. If you're also wearing eye protection in public, you're fricking weird but probably safer. If you're wearing a mask for public safety, good for you.
