       COMMENT: Having just studied the rudiments of epidemiology, I
       can't help but suspect there are a bunch of 'Typhoid Marys'
       amongst us running around as unmasked healthcare personnel.
       How do we protect one another if we don't mask in advance, take
       precautions such as sanitation & antiseptic measures, and use
       ventilation systems to transfer air out and fresh air in?...
       ...shouldn't we treat everyone in a healthcare environment as if
       they might be carrying illness to simply be on the safe side?
       Isn't it better to be safe than sorry? Isn't a healthcare
       environment prone and at risk for airborne illnesses and
       airborne diseases?
       NOTE: on definition of epidemiology
       "Epidemiology is the study and analysis of the distribution
       (who, when, and where), patterns and determinants of health and
       disease conditions in a defined population, and application of
       this knowledge to prevent diseases.
       It is a cornerstone of public health, and shapes policy
       decisions and evidence-based practice by identifying risk
       factors for disease and targets for preventive healthcare.
       Epidemiologists help with study design, collection, and
       statistical analysis of data, amend interpretation and
       dissemination of results (including peer review and occasional
       systematic review). Epidemiology has helped develop methodology
       used in clinical research, public health studies, and, to a
       lesser extent, basic research in the biological sciences.[1]
       Major areas of epidemiological study include disease causation,
       transmission, outbreak investigation, disease surveillance,
       environmental epidemiology, forensic epidemiology, occupational
       epidemiology, screening, biomonitoring, and comparisons of
       treatment effects such as in clinical trials. Epidemiologists
       rely on other scientific disciplines like biology to better
       understand disease processes, statistics to make efficient use
       of the data and draw appropriate conclusions, social sciences to
       better understand proximate and distal causes, and engineering
       for exposure assessment."
