You’re right in that unless you can afford a new one every time you touch it or wash and dry it multiple times a day, it offers very little protection. Seeing people touching them, wearing them under their nose or chin and moving them up and down repeatedly is, I guess for them, better than no protection. Some cannot wear one and it’s not our place to judge. Some follow the guidelines to the letter and still get sick. This is a virus....more deadly to some than others. Do what you feel is right for you...,I do not know what your situation is so it’s not my place to judge you or anyone else. Take the precautions laid out, stay home, enjoy the time we have left doing what we like....if you’re sick, stay home....many have succumbed to this and so many other diseases over the last 8 months. Be careful....but be alive!

Why was Amy Coney Barrett asked to remove her mask???

Wearing anything other then a N-95 mask is like fencing in your back yard with wire fence to keep the mosquitoes out .

I'll say what most say: Wearing a mask protects others from you. Not the other way around. Stay clean, keep hands from eyes and nose, and if you have a cold, allergy or covid, wear a mask to keep your exhaled breath (and spittle) close to you and not 6 feet away into someone's face. That said, ... the virus is airborne, so we will eventually breathe some of it.
Even the vaccine, when it comes out, won't kill the virus. It will be here always, like the regular flu that's here yearly, and modified each time, so the best we can do is hope we don't get it. And even when (not if) we finally get it, I don't think that it will hurt most of us. The regular flu sometimes kills those who are elderly or have underlying issues, and this covid will just go on. And so will I. Just go on with life the way I always have. I'm not worried. Never have been and never will. It's just the way things are. I think that there is a certain amount of paranoia that is totally ridiculous, and yet there should be a reasonable amount of caution. I just won't hide from the boogie man. |
Trump carelessly infecting others?
Did he know his DX before all his events and didn't care?

It doesn't matter if you wear a mask if you get the virus from your spouse. The "scientists and doctors" say that you do not contract the virus from briefly passing someone or being outside and social distancing. You would have to be having a conversation with someone with both of you not wearing a mask and one of you would have to be infected. Then MAYBE one of you would become infected....maybe. So, if "science" is so relevant, then why worry? According to their "science" you would not catch the virus when shopping and you do not catch it from the food that you are served at a restaurant. But, do what you want because "the sky is falling."
I wear a mask when shopping because the signs require it to be worn. I would wear one at other times IF I felt I was in danger of infection. I'm not going to let this pandemic scare me into putting my life on hold. Already passed my expiration date anyway, so I might as well enjoy what is left. Some of you will likely pass from stress. Wear your mask and quit worrying about it. Do what you feel is necessary to keep the stress level down. |

I also do a flame test which I have seen demonstrated by experts on TV. Try to blow out a candle flame with your mask holding the flame about 12" from your mouth. Blow as hard as you can and if the flame goes out, your mask is not good enough to contain aerosols or droplets. Simple test but very important to do. |

The masks protect the person wearing it as well as the other people. It is common sense as well as there have been a large number of demonstrations showing where the virus droplets go. If you have nothing on your face the droplets can go in your nose and mouth!

I was replying to a post, which I may have over read, which I thought implied that this was "by chance" which it was not. I cannot ever wish any other human being to suffer. Not my style and never has been, although much has been aimed at my and my wife's health on here 😁 Not sure of whom you speak with the capital H in he, but hoping it was the only person who should receive that. I will refrain on our POTUS keeping us safe, and make no comment. |

I wear a mask out and about, do not shake hands, keep distance etc. Recently developed flu like symptoms and had a LITTLE anxiety. Tested positive for this so called Covid scare..... 3 days later was back to normal. Again, I'd you are scared, stay home and live in fear. Not me. Life goes on and so do I. Watch and learn. Trump will be on his feet and back at it as this is total BS and I am sick and tired of the paranoia. |

Have you passed a person with your mask on, and noticed the scent of that person's perfume or after shave? The particles that enter your nose which allow you to detect the scent are approximately 1 micron in size. A micron is 1,000 nanometers. The Covid virus is between 60 to 140 nanometers in diameter. A virus, however, doesn't just float around on its own. It's attached to a larger particle.
A properly fit N95 filter is effective at removing particles down to 300 nanometers (0.3 microns). In fact, the smaller the particle the more effective the N95 is at removing it. Surgical masks, depending on the manufacturer and materials of which they are made, are highly variable in their efficiency...anywhere from 10 to 90%. They are better suited for filtering particles emitted from the wearer (in other words, they protect others from you). Plastic face shields protect the wearer from splatter into their eyes, nose or mouth. They don't filter the air you inhale, nor do they filter the air you exhale. Large, well ventilated spaces are pretty safe. Masks offer some protection when you can't always maintain social distance. Have fun at the squares - just don't kiss your bartender, and you will probably be okay. |

I think the judge was demonstrating her respect for others by wearing the mask. She was put in an uncomfortable position if she (allegedly) was asked to remove it. |

“Large, well ventilated spaces...” You mean like the Rose Garden? Or the Squares? |

Listen to the scientists. Wear a mask and do not expose the rest of us. Maintain safe distance. Stay home if you are a senior and have underlying medical conditions. Have your groceries delivered. The person in the highest office of our country did not listen to the scientists to protect himself, his family, his aids and anyone he was close to and came down with Covid 19. Does that not tell you something?
