Gulam Nabi Azad says that wearing N95 Masks cannot protect one from H1N1. Yet, those testing and treating H1N1 patients wear N95! Plus, those with H1N1 also do. How can a common man be sure that the person around him/her does not have H1N1? In most cases even the infected person does not know till he/she really falls sick. The mask acts as a wall between the infected and not-infected. How does it matter who wears it? At the end of the day it reduces the probability of contacting H1N1! Why should we not wear a mask? I fail to understand the logic in Mr. Azad’s statement!!!
My gut feeling says that Mr. Azad knows that the supply of N95 masks is inadequate and is unwilling to work towards increasing the supply of N95 masks. I have had a lot of experience in dealing with government agency and feel that the Health Ministry would rather risk the spread of H1N1 like wild wire than work towards increasing the supply of N95 masks! At the end of the day the ministers and bureaucrats would have access to N95 Masks! How does it matter to the Health Ministry whether the common man is taken care of or not? Isn’t that the real issue?
