As coronavirus cases surge and hospitals already experience a shortage of equipment, Americans should forgo buying and wearing protective masks, says television host and heart surgeon Mehmet Oz, also known as Dr. Oz.
On Thursday, The New York Times reported that a community health clinic in Minnesota was considering shutting down because it didn’t have enough masks — and that doctors at a St. Louis hospital were wearing ill-fitting masks while treating coronavirus patients. Other physicians at a Los Angeles emergency room were given expired masks.
“You have critically ill people waiting in gurneys and hallways while their brethren are being saved,” Oz says. “That's what happened in Italy.” Story continuesOz made the remarks during a conversation that aired in an episode of Yahoo Finance’s “Influencers with Andy Serwer,” a weekly interview series with leaders in business, politics, and entertainment.
