       WHO urged to make respirator masks the standard for workers in
       “all healthcare settings”
       (Published 09 January 2026)
       "Doctors, scientists, and public health experts have urged the
       World Health Organization (WHO) to recommend that healthcare
       workers wear respirators “in every encounter in all healthcare
       settings.”
       The letter—seen by The BMJ—calls for WHO to update its infection
       prevention and control guidance to recommend that staff wear
       respirators such as N95, FFP2/3, and elastomeric masks as
       standard practice and “not just during outbreaks or high risk
       procedures.”
       It argues that not doing so is “scientifically indefensible” and
       “dangerous,” as it would continue to expose staff and patients
       to “preventable and potentially even lethal risk” from pathogens
       such as SARS-CoV-2.
       Around 50 experts—including Martin McKee, professor of European
       public health at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical
       Medicine, and Trisha Greenhalgh, professor of primary care
       health sciences at the University of Oxford—have endorsed the
       letter."

       Holy Moly! Damn Right! That's what Ive been saying all along...
       It is “scientifically indefensible” and “dangerous" for people
       in the healthcare business not to wear  masks! ,” Now we are
       talking! Some real Doctors, scientists, and public health
       experts just wrote you a letter local doctor ... Now read that
       letter Doctors and Nurses!!!
       Wear a Mask,
       The Masked Man
       P.S. Got some big doctors, scientists, and public health experts
       on my side now that just signed their name to something
       significant that I believe in; namely: MASKING!  :) Feels good!
       I believe in science man.I believe in microscopic entities and I
       believe in microscopes, stethoscopes and masks! I believe in the
       mask! Think like a real scientist and wear mask! I learned from
       the microscope..
       ...we had a a microscope at grandma's house and even as a child
       I was taught how to see things through the microscope ..the
       microscope has taught me to believe in  things I can't see.
       Being able to use a microscope and see germs and particles is
       what  separates the real scientists from the quacks! Its one of
       the reasons I mask...
       ... Even as I child I knew to mask so as not to breathe onto and
       fog up the microscope plate and  the specimen I was studying.
       You can't see a thing through a microscope if you breathe hot
       air on your specimen or patient. You'll contaminate the
       microscope slide if you breathe hot air or vapor on your
       specimen. You don't want to study your own germs or particles by
       accident you want to study theirs and that's why we mask so as
       to keep the microscopic entities separate from one another so we
       can get a good reading.
       That's also the whole point of diagnosing and using tests on a
       patient.. a patient comes up you with a mysterious illness or
       something wrong and automatically you don't wanna breathe on the
       patient and you don't want the patient breathing on you or
       anyone else.. you wear a mask and administer tests without
       breathing on or contaminating the test so you can get a good
       reading meanwhile nobody exchanges undetermined particles that
       you are studying.. that's the whole key to being a a good
       doctor.. the key is to believe in what you can't see and don't
       contaminate or mix particles you are studying so you can get a
       good reading
       So we wear masks and use disinfectants on surfaces  and move the
       air with air circulating apparatuses all so our tests are
       accurate and we can study the right  germs in the lab.
       Got to wear masks so you can practice applied science correctly
       and professionally and also we must wear masks because it is in
       a code of ethics for doctors to do everything they can to
       prevent disease to begin with. That's in the Hippocratic oath.
       Its unethical for a doctor to make someone ill or allow people
       to make each other ill under their practice, care, or roof.
       I'm sick of these maskless pseudo doctors pretending they can
       just look at somebody and touch them and breathe on them and
       smile with them and act like they know everything.. Gotta be
       professional wear a mask use medical apparatus's and tests and
       not breathe on your patients and vice versa .. gotta assume they
       might even have a serious contagious disease .. gotta treat
       people and microscopic entities with respect and use your
       microscope, tests and masks responsibly! and keep your tools
       clean and disinfect your tools and medical apparatuses  you are
       about to use in front of your patients.. take pride in your
       precautions and medical tools!
       You can only see certain things through a microscope and really
       an electron microscope so you better believe in the mask if you
       believe in microscopes! If you are a doctor and you don't
       believe in microscopes and masks then you are in the wrong
       business. You can't see covid, TB, Monkey Pox, Influenza etc...
       yeah there are symptoms but it's all about airborne particles
       you can't see... gotta wear a mask when working around and
       studying germs and illnesses and that's all there is to it.
