Dr. Deborah birx said theres Scientific Evidence showing a mask not only keeps you from infecting others but may also protect you from getting infected. Earlier i spoke with imran ali about the evidence and started by asking him about the surge in covid19 cases over the weekend. Weve seen a record increase in cases in several states. Arizona, florida and texas are the big concerns. Several cities are shutting down bars and beaches for the fourth of july. What is your biggest concern right now . My biggest concern is that people are getting complacent. What we have to understand, that the pandemic is not over yet, and we have still a ways to go before we can even begin to think of a vaccine. And thats why social distancing no matter how difficult it may be, its going to be here at least until december for a minimum. Are we better able to respond to the surge now than we were in march or april . What have we learned since then . We have much more testing capability. We do have a lot more ppe and we understand how to triage patients. Texas Medical Center is at 100 of its baseline capacity. Its going to go to Surge Capacity now, but then there gets to a point where the hospital literally cant take more patients. You dont have enough beds, and thats when it gets really dangerous and concerning. On sunday dr. Deborah birx from the White House Task force said something new about wearing a mask. She said, Scientific Evidence shows a mask not only keeps you from infecting others but may also protect you from getting infected. This message has not been emphasized by the white house before. What is your take on this . Its very exciting to know that some of the Scientific Evidence now shows that were not only preventing the respiratory droplets from escaping, but youre also wearing a protective device which can trap the actual microdroplets from somebody else. Fashionable masks which you can buy in almost any outlet now, some do have a pocket so you can put a filter in them and they also are pretty good but, again, youre not going to trap, you know, the tiny micron virus droplets which can be 0. 3 microns. These will protect you against 5 micron respiratory droplets then the throw away disposable ones are, you know, theyre good but theyre not as good as the ones that are made out of cloth which have several layers of protection. So there are a lot of masks out there, mona, and, you know, a lot of things to choose from but whatever you do, i want to stress to the viewers that wearing a mask is all that we have right now, and we must do that.
