A short YouTube message (Asif Osman) advising viewers to wear masks to protect others during the COVID-19 pandemic. Osman reframes masks as source control—blocking respiratory droplets from the wearer—and notes a handkerchief can serve as a simple alternative; he invites medical feedback and asks viewers to share comments.
Hello, everyone. This is Asif, the highway robber. Not exactly the highway robber, but I think I want to share this information. And most of us have been thinking about masks the wrong way. We think about masks as something that we wear to protect ourselves so as not to be affected by bacteria or viruses. But I think in this COVID 19 situation, we need to think of the mask as protecting others. So it doesn't have to be a real mask that you buy from the pharmacies or hospitals, but you could buy something which acts as a mask. In my case, I've bought a handkerchief. I'm wearing the handkerchief around my nose and I want to protect others, so in case I have the virus, I don't want it spreading. So when I sneeze or cough or even speak, the droplets remain on the handkerchief that I've worn. So I hope this message is really useful and it's valid. I'd like somebody who's got a medical background to comment on it. I'd like to be proven wrong, but please share your comments.
If these are God's chosen people then God chose them to test the rest of us.
