Why is it that teachers can't wear N95 masks and face shields and blue nitrile gloves?

My DOCTOR sees sick people all day long...some of them with the virus...and stays perfectly safe.

Why would it be so impossible for teachers to do the same?

Because they aren’t in the medical field.

@Jeffrey53 You mean they would not provide essential workers like teacher with necessary PPE if it were determined it was necessary?

@4meAndyou there differences medical mask and N95 mask. N95 mask most for medical workers. Regular mask you can buy over the counter.

@Jeffrey53 N95's with face shields and blue nitrile gloves could protect from almost anything. Even Ebola.
