I respectfully disagree. I really hate to disagree, even respectfully with a nurse, but, until the route of transmission of the disease is well known and understood, infection control techniques are not going to be effective.

It is beginning to appear that masks and gowns are minimum requirements. As you know, masks and gowns are very difficult to use effectively and the bagging is problematic. There are also many questions as to where this virus lurks.

I respect your opinion, even if you are mistaken in this case.
Gowns, gloves and proper respirator mask have been clinically proven to be a protective barrier against cross-contamination, and very effective. These people have just been lax, and too cheap to provide the proper the equipment.
