Any mask would capture some of the products of sneezing, for a while, at least.
Maybe the desk docs are concentrating on the exposure to whoever has to clean the mask.
Nawwww, not a chance.

Oh.

Toronto firefighters on overnight shifts are no longer allowed to use CPAP machines at work.
Late last week, the Toronto Sun learned that city firefighters who use Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machines while they sleep will be moved to day shifts, and their use no longer allowed in TFS sleeping barracks.
The decision, said Toronto Fire Chief Matthew Pegg, came at the advice of the fire service’s chief medical officer.
“CPC machines are an example of something that increases the risk of (respiratory) droplet spread,” he said Monday during the city’s daily COVID-19 press briefing. The measure will be in effect until the COVID-19 risk has abated.
CPAP therapy is to treat obstructive sleep apnea, a condition where relaxed throat muscles can cause patients to stop breathing in their sleep. The machines blow air into the patient’s airway via a mask worn while sleeping to keep these airways open.
This constant positive pressure can aerosolize respiratory droplets, spreading them around the room during the night.
The move will bear no significant impact in the fire department’s deployment levels, Pegg said.
