I can’t say that I love wearing face masks. Although, I have found that it keeps my face nice and warm’ now that the weather has dipped below freezing. This article is being written amidst another lockdown with rising Covid-19 cases. And much of the daily news is once again dedicated to the topic. One such topic that seems to be gaining momentum is the idea of Covid-19 transmitting as an aerosol (CBC article linked here). Not to mention that here in Ottawa, we have been asked to wear masks outdoors “as much as possible” as well (CBC article linked here). Given the current situation, I thought it might be valuable to review some of the information that differentiates medical masks.
