I bought masks for my office but ONLY to send a patient I suspect has the Flu to the laboratory at the hospital to be tested. Masks are only effective for a short period of time (hours) and they are very scary for children. So I only recommend the usual: stay home if you are sick, wash hands frequently, cover mouths or cough in the new PC way mentioned in the article. Dr Engelland Dear Larchmonter,

I don't see anybody around here in a panic, but even the professionals don't claim to know everything. So I think it's good to ask questions and try to make smart decisions.

I worry that by the time we need them, they will be sold out. Dr. E, would you recommend buying protective face masks, just in case? I worry that by the time we need them, they will be sold out.
