I heard that, too. The masks don't stop it....

Sounds like someone was talking about a dust mask, not an N95 mask.

If anyone has credible information that the N95 specification does not eliminate particles of the type involved in the SARS pathogen I'm sure CDC, OSHA and others would like to hear about it.

Why aren't medical personell who are wearing N95 masks getting infected?

Wow what a way to enhance airline ticket sales!!!

I can hardly wait to get on an airplane where the stewardesses are wearing surgical masks and protective plastic gloves. Gives you a real warm feeling of safety.

Perhaps the airlines are going to hand them out to passengers also?????????
