Glad he's OK (of course)
Something to think about for those who blame the virus' spread on people who don't want to wear a mask.
As a paramedic, I'm sure he would always be wearing a mask.

Something interesting is surfacing in Australia. Medical staff who come down with COVID 19 are not getting it at work where they wear full PPE and have very strict protocols to follow. Contact tracing of new clusters has linked a number of positive results to social events since restrictions have started to loosen.

By the way, Ronni, you have a son to be proud of. Very proud.

Big difference between the masks we're wearing & the PPE medical personnel wear. Their head is completely covered & they have breathing apparatus. That's why masks alone are useless.
 
Masks alone are not useless. They are better than nothing but they are meant to be part of an overall plan of control of infection rates. Are you aware of the concept of synergy?

Synergy (noun)
  1. the interaction or cooperation of two or more organizations, substances, or other agents to produce a combined effect greater than the sum of their separate effects.

Medical personnel for the most part are not wearing respirators with a breathing apparatus. In fact, the only people I've seen with those were military early on when repatriating people on military planes.

We all know your opinions/fixation about masks ...ad nauseaum. But don't make stuff up.

Most medical personnel are wearing N95s with face shields. Some have exhalation valves but that's not recommended because it doesn't protect others since the wearers breath exits the valve.

This is a pic of a respirator with a breathing apparatus and it is not standard for medical personnel.
