Shaming rarely works on most people, so I will simply say: follow the facts, both scientific and economic, for they tell the same story:
The pandemic is far from over. SARS-CoV-2 is still spreading; COVID-19 is still disabling millions today. It's never too late to align one's conduct with reality.

Never, ever look to a physician for preventative advice.
Physicians do not do prevention. They do aftercare. "The vaccine I gave you will help, AFTER you've been infected!"
Don't want to get infected in the first place? Follow engineering advice. Wear an N95. Clean indoor public air. ASHRAE 241!

"There has been a lot of squabbling over masks in recent weeks. The reality is that yes they do help ... we are not at the stage where they should be mandatory. However if you are working with people who are vulnerable, or in a crowded space then you should wear a mask."

![Annex K (informative)
Scenarios using selection wheels in Figures 2 and 3
Notes:
1) This Annex is not a mandatory part of this Standard.
2) These scenarios are examples only. They should not be used as standard procedures.
K.1 Scenario 1: SARS Virus
A) Personnel responsible for patient triage in the emergency room of a hospital where SARS is present during an epidemic period.
Step 1 Identify the bioaerosol. Confirmed SARS virus
Step 2 Transmission of disease, infection, or adverse effects produced from inhalation of bioaerosol. Yes, SARS
Step 3 Select applicable control banding wheel: health care facility or general workplace environment (see Figure 2 or 3) Health care facility — Figure 2
Step 4 Determine the bioaerosol risk group (R1, R2, R3, or R4 in accordance with Clause 7.3.4.3.5) R3: Agents associated with serious or lethal human disease or adverse health effects for which preventive or therapeutic interventions might be available (high individual risk but low community risk)
Step 5 Determine the generation rate (G1, G2, G3, or G4 in accordance with Clause 7.3.4.3.6) G2: low aerosolization
Step 6 Determine the control level (C1, C2, C3, or C4 in accordance with Clause 7.3.4.3.7) C1: Poorly ventilated, <3 air changes per hour (ACH)
Step 7 Identify the number and colour of the segment selected at the intersection of the variables identified in Steps 4 to 6: R3, G2, C1 = Green/No. 1. See Figure 4 to determine the APF corresponding to Green/No. 1 — APF 10 • Air-purifying (negative-pressure) half-facepiece Recommendation of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) [2]: half-facepiece with disposable N95 filter (APF 10)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ou6sjyhswn7s3qyfqhw7mbk6/bafkreiacjebmt7cxzm3jcky47jeoncssndixghjo553kjinl3wjd3ydfyu@jpeg)
![B) Personnel providing care to an infected patient during an epidemic period. (Patient wearing surgical or medical mask).

Step 5 Determine the generation rate (G1, G2, G3, or G4 in accordance with Clause 7.3.4.3.6) G3: care given to an infectious patient coughing or sneezing with mouth uncovered
Step 6 Determine the control level (C1, C2, C3, or C4 in accordance with Clause 7.3.4.3.7) C3: 6–12 ACH
Step 7 Identify the number and colour of the segment selected at the intersection of the variables identified in Steps 4 to 6: R3, G3, C3 = Green/No. 1.
