Regarding the letter by Jeanette Dietrich M.D I would like to see all the signature physicians prove their faith in masks stopping  a virus by hammering on an old asbestos covered pipe with their masks on.

Asbestos dust being visible to naked eye would surely be captured by a disposable mask if indeed it can capture a virus that is magnitudes smaller.

Its great that some people think covid-19 is a "unique " event having forgot the three pandemics and two epidemics Canada went through in the 20th century when caution, not economic devastation and paranoia, was the game plan.

We co-evolve with the viral world. Perhaps a copy of "On the Origin of Species" by Charles Darwin should be sent to each signatory on the letter.
