Non medical friends, let’s have a chat about masks. So, you’ve bought yourself a box of N95 masks and you think you’re good for #COVID19.

And, while on Tuesday Vice President Mike Pence said, "Any American can be tested" for coronavirus, local doctors here in Kirkland say tests are not yet available.
