John always got his transfusions at the hospital and he always work a mask when walking through the hospital. He would take it off once in the room unless someone was clearly ill with a respiratory cold. But that was rare since most in the room were getting chemo or blood. Anytime he was in the common areas of the hospital or the medical building where his doctor was, he wore a mask until his ANC got up to 1200. During the cold and flu season though, he wore it no matter what.
