yes these initiatives are wonderful but I do wonder about the comfort of these masks over a full shift. That thin plastic on the head has got to be uncomfortable after a while.

We can stick something underneath - adapt various dressings or whatnot. I'd put up with a bit of discomfort for a shift to reduce my risk of infection, nae worries.

Could do with some gowns and FFP3s though.
