Yeah, I've been to Mangurian several times. No mask was provided to my stepmom when she went for her onc. appts. there this week. She does not have symptoms. She did not ask for a mask. She does not think she needs one.The mask wearing evidence and guidelines are confusing. I found one of these in our first aid supplies. A "Curad antiviral mask". Thinking about having my dad use it on infusion day. Still wondering if it causes more harm than help as he has no symptoms, is not coughing, etc. Yes, he is infusing Daratumumab which I understand is an IgG1k monoclonal antibody. This will be his 42 infusion with this medicine. A miracle "cure" that is apparently allowing him to auto-immunize against the cancer cells.

@devehf- Good morning Dave. If a person wears the right mask properly it might help to stop any fluids from getting into mouth cavities. Wearing a mask is for protection from others if you are well and for protection for others if you are unwell. I would much rather err on the side of caution than take a chance.
Here is a video about putting a mask on and then gloves:
