Should we deprive emergency room doctors of N95 masks, just because I can't buy any on store shelves?

Supply and demand is a separate thing. People stockpiling these mask has led to this shortage. What you are suggesting with regard to protection is a universal right.

And yea, if a Dr is so scared of contracting a disease in a profession specifically putting them in this situation, they should also quit their job. Certain jobs require a strong stomach for risk. Don’t take it if you can’t handle it.

Also let’s not forget she not only didn’t teach her son to check who’s at the door before opening it, she can also very easily defend herself using her second amendment rights. Just like the rest of us.
