It’s easy esp inside—
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.

For the computer -

Press the Windows key and R at the same time.

Type charmap in the dialog box and press enter

This will bring up the character map. Double-click the character you want and then select the "copy" button (copies the character to the clipboard).

Paste into the editor for this site (or other).

You should be able to get any character that the site allows this way.

Thank you. I got as far as the character map but gave up after that.

The 95 refers to the percentage of airborne particles that are filtered for the wearer of the mask.

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.

From what I have read about this subject, fumes are even smaller than aerosols. Fumes, such as perfume or gaseous odors are what I'm referring to.

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.

Ok, but just try to remember that it's "Donald" not "George."

That means that the placebo effect is working.....

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 don’t 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-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.
