I think people hear the word "surgical" and think it must be the best possible type of mask, and then make bad decisions based on that. But I would expect a hospital system to get the facts right!
Also, I am still frustrated that during the pandemic we discovered that masking dramatically reduces the spread of disease -- a modern-day equivalent of the discovery of hand washing -- and then at some point hospitals stopped doing it.
