With Covid-19 they are. One in Italy; 9 in the Phillippines; two in America; several in China. This is not normal.

Those cases cannot be conclusively linked to a failure of the masks to filter. Ergo, I'm not wrong yet.

That's not science; that's arguing to a point.

Presumably, these doctors didn't die during last year's flu epidemic. Nor during the previous years or decades of their practice. So something is different this year. Something they normally do to protect themselves, that isn't working this year.

Hm, they use hand washing, gowns, gloves, masks. Which one, do you think?
