Masks on TV in 1996,

Coincidence:



Watching a rerun of Law & Order from the mid-1990's, Jamie, the female ADA, goes to the medical ward of a prison, and when she's about to walk in, someone hands her a medical mask.



FWIW it wasn't cloth, it was one of those semi-stiff dome-like masks.


FWIW the homemade cloth masks - in use today - along with distancing and hand washing and general awareness - .. are meant to help protect others - not the wearer ! Duh.

whereas the prison protocol - the visitor mask - was surely meant to protect the visitor ... ... just sayin' .

And - most importantly - Jill Hennessy .. 'nuff said ! I rest my case ..

It was a prop on a TV show. Don't take it too seriously. That is the same show that told you, taping a pop bottle on a .45 would silence it and they got DNA results overnight.

TV shows are fiction, as are the leftist media "news" reports.

Social media is now being censored by the leftists so even if some researcher developed a covid treatment protocol, if the censors at google don't approve it, you won't find it in your search results.

I live on top of a pile of rocks. It doesn't negatively affect my ability to think. Where do you live?

That reminded me.

Of course it was a prop. That doesn't mean it's not real. (The word is short for property.) But do you think the propmaster made something that looked like a mask, or that he sent someone to the store with a list of things to buy, including a mask. Which would take less time and money?

Don't take it too seriously. That is the

Irrelevant.

No doubt it was a real dust mask or respirator they got from the set construction crew. Counterfeits were not popular back then and nobody but bank robbers and trick or treaters used cloth masks. The question is whether the scenario was real. What were they treating in that ward that required PPE?

Now when you cite cases from Judge Judy and present them like legal precedents.
