As a Veteran with PTSD and a MST survivor, I do understand anxiety. I don't enjoy wearing masks either, my glasses fog up, I start sweating from wicked hot flashes, but I suck it up and do it because it's the right thing to do and I have health risk factors that make me susceptible. If you think wearing a mask is so horrible then you would REALLY hate being on a ventilator. I suppose a face shield is better than nothing at all, as I don't know if they are effective whatsoever, but mathematically and scientifically, masks do help. If a public place or business requires them, then I'm gonna wear them even though they are uncomfortable. We're all just trying to be as safe as possible for everyone's sake. We always have choices; you can either put your big girl panties on and deal with the inconvenience or, if you absolutely refuse to mask up, you can stay home. I believe it's going to be at least another year before the virus is under control, if ever, and it would be because of so many stubborn, non-compliant people not getting how important it is to do what we can to protect ourselves and our fellow humans.

I have not kept up with the expert doc in awhile, does he say wear a mask when 20 ft from the nearest person when walking or what about 50 ft? Does he recommend that when I drive my car with the windows up and a. c. on to wear a mask? Oh yes nobody is with me of course. Is wearing a mask 100 percent effective? Has the wonderful doctor said, no one who wears a mask gets sick or dies? Itâs been a couple months since I heard the expert talk about these things. Months ago he changed his mind all the time and I turned him off. Does he have a greater understanding of this virus now?

Thank you

I would assume that that the majority of them are unaware. At least they are making an attempt to show they care for their fellow human being?
|
What about all the waitresses that wear their masks below their nose? Another useless gesture.

OSHA says also that OR must have additional oxygen piped in because masks are worn for longer periods of time. This is help prevent low oxygen levels for the people wearing the masks.

And of course the OP has made it sound like it is a fact that clear face shields are ineffective when the CDC site says there is not enough data to know. |

"The design of an operating room is to have multiple air changes per hour and to stay at a higher air pressure than adjoining rooms or hallways. The effect of the air changes is to remove odors and any undesirable bacteria away from the operative field and is exhausted to the outside, the entering conditioned air is filtered thru HEPA filters eliminating exposing the room with any odors or bacteria. Keep in mind the entering air is usually 100% outside air and has the normal percentage of oxygen." |

I have been working as an R.N. for 43 years and give stress reduction classes at the facility I am employed at. Many people do not realize how living with chronic stress is not just a negative mental health issue, it can have as equally negative physiologic impact on the body especially the immune system. We were magnificently created to have a mind and body that respond accordingly to enhance our survival when faced with an actual or perceived threat. This survival response was meant to be a short term event, but when the threat becomes chronic such as in the case of Covid making the physiologic response to it prolonged, that prolonged response which includes having high levels of cytokines, cortisol, etc. levels in our blood streams not only causes chronic inflammation which damages our immune and other body systems, it can activate latent viruses which is the reason why you often see outbreaks of Herpes Zoster/Shingles in individuals who are under a great deal of stress. With any infectious disease be it bacterial, fungal, or viral for one to contract them they have to be a susceptible host meaning having a weakened immune where they don't have the intrinsic ammo to fight off and kill the infectious invader. Masks, shields, any all other face coverings worn by yourself and others in addition to having impeccable hygienne may protect you and others to a certain extent from contracting Covid, the seasonal flu, or other contagious infections, but they will never fully protect you if your immune system is weakened as a result of the negative physiologic impact of living under chronic stress has on it. And additionally, the damage that is being caused by having chronic high level pro-inflammatory hormones such as cortisol continually released in response to chronic stress can cause the development of diseases equally life threatening as Covid such as heart attacks, strokes, etc. Protect yourself as best as you see fit, but do yourself a favor and try reduce your stress over what others are doing or not doing because holding on to that stress is doing you far more harm than you may have realized. |

You are right. You must still wear a face mask
|
Itâs easy esp insideâ
Virus is spread via aerosol spray. They go under and over the plastic. Most people wear cotton masks and aerosol spray penetrates cotton. What you need is N95 or KN95 masks. The 95 refers to size of aerosol spray. |
I've read none of the face masks are effective. Also the current year rate of deaths is not up. So are we worrying about nothing ? WHO came out with lockdowns are worthless unless to give Healthcare in a region a break. Good side lockdowns did reduce pollution in metro areas.

The following was copied from a Google search....... The different ratings in place for respirators indicate how well the mask would protect against oils and are rated as N, R, or P. ... Respirators that filter out 95 percent of airborne particles are given a 95 rating, so N95 respirator filters out 95 percent of airborne particles but is not resistant to oil. |

When I wear a paper mask, purchased in a box of 50 or one of my cloth masks, I am unable to detect aromas from perfume, gas from my gas stove, foods, lav spray, pine sol cleaner, etc. As soon as I remove my mask, those aromas are very strong to me and very easily detected. I know that is an extremely unscientific test of the masks, but for some strange reason, I feel my masks are doing what I want them to do. |
I will hide in my basement til this passes. Someone please mail me some food.

90% of Americans are done with masks. If you are sick or obese stay home. Let everyone else live and support their family. This virus will not disappear unless we completely shut down the world for 60 days. I mean completely. No one leaves the house, not police, not firemen, not shoppers, not church goers, No one. Or, we let the virus spread like wildfire and the strong survive. Just like Spanish Flu.

A face shield protects you from my droplets and me from your droplets. Be thankful that we are at least trying and others donât even try.
|
Covid will soon be gone !! Do you wear a mask in the flu season?? Or worry about your family getting it ???

Coronavirus in the villages
Coronavirus in the villages-Our bocce group has been playing bocce for several months now with from 16 to 24 players. Last week we were notified by one of the players that they tested positive for coronavirus. It is real. It is here. All play was conducted according to CDC guidelines.
|
I have seen studies that say the shield is 98 percent effective against the virus but I still wear a mask with it.
|
Be sure and wear a military gas mask.
