ep 11. to mask or not to mask, that is the question
To mask, or not to mask? That is the question! Well, one of them! This week on the podcast, we talk about how masks contain respiratory droplets, potentially preventing the transmission of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. We also outline the CDC’s recent mask recommendations and other implications/concerns!
