That and people not wearing masks properly make them useless. I will continue to be maskless as I’ve been for 9 months.

And yet there is no shortage of people wearing cloth and paper masks in stores, at the squares, walking on sidewalks, and my personal favorite---driving alone in their car with a mask on. Actually, that is now my second favorite. My new favorite is the person who posted they enter a restaurant "with their mask on and proudly walk past the "scornful" looks of others" (until they get seated then take it off). Certainly they have that right, but I'm having trouble understanding why they are proud of such behavior. Stupidity?? Virtue signaling? Craving attention???? Perhaps they have a low standard for judging which of their "accomplishments" in life they are proud of:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

M95 Masks
 

You can get 3 at the Neighborhood Walmart on 466a right by Colony Plaza. They are made by 3M and individually packaged.

If you sneeze in it do you have to change masks? Or do you take it off to sneeze and put it back on? Asking for a friend

Take it off to sneeze?????:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl: Absolutely, as well as take it off to cough in someone's face, spit, and drool. My apologies in advance if that was actually a serious question.

If you sneeze in it, the expelled mucus will dry and form an extra tight seal around the edges. The bonus is that it will be an exfoliating peel when you remove it in 2038 when they finally let you take it off.

The only time I change mine, is if I throw up barf after drinking too much.
Elastic cannot take the weight when mask is full.
Sneezing and smoking cigar through mask is fine though.:icon_wink:

Ok, that's two of us health care professionals that did not give a serious answer. So just in case it was a serious question, NO, DO NOT REMOVE IT TO SNEEZE. Whether you choose to wear it further or toss it is up to you (and how many "free" N95's you've managed to collect)

The real irony here is the attitude that many of you exhibit. You complain bitterly about the "freeloaders" looking for government handouts. Yet your hand is out, isn't it? Buy N95s for yourself -- they are readily available on Amazon. And frankly, when I'm out and about, most of you are maskless anyway.

Denigrate someone trying to stay safe? Wow.

How do you smoke a cigar with a mask on? I cut a tight fitting hole in mine, and another small one on the side for my Old Fashioned drink straw.

That's strange, since most of the posters that "complain bitterly" about freeloaders, myself included, have also stated that they will not be ordering any "free" masks, or tests, or anything else that is "free". Besides, I have no complaint with those that truly need a test or mask and can't afford it---My problem is with those that have explicitly stated that they probably will never use either, but they'll get them BECAUSE they are free.

Masks
 

The CVS on 44 and Main Street had them.

Thanks. Will be flying soon & believe them to have better protection for that situation

Not at all. I applaud people who are following protocol. I wear a mask. I'm just tired of the complainers.
