"At stake is not merely the technical distinction between a loose fitting medical mask and a respirator certified to FFP2 or FFP3 standards in the United Kingdom or N95 standards in the United States.

At stake is whether health systems have been knowingly deploying substandard protective equipment in environments where exposure to lethal airborne disease is foreseeable, continuous and unavoidable.

Under international labour law, this question is already answered."

I wish I could bottle this article and pour it into a water pistol so that I could aim it at doctors and nurses who come near me unmasked or wearing baggy blues.
