On this edition of How to Bay Area we take closer look at masks, the funny face protectors that have sparked so much controversy since this pandemic began (and as we discover, long before then as well). Over the course of the program we speak with three expert guests on the best masking practices, as well as what the latest science has to say about mask effectiveness. We also take a closer look at Bay Area history to find out what the region's last bout with pandemic has to teach us today as we sort through one Covid controversy after another. 

Guests: 
Nicole Meldahl, executive director of the Western Neighborhoods Project history nonprofit in San Francisco  
Dr. Monica Gandhi, an infectious disease physician at UC San Francisco
Dr. Krutika Kuppalli, a Bay Area infectious disease physician and also a biosecurity fellow with the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security
