Oh yeah....We must not forget....Fauci really wants us to wear goggles.

All I know as I watch these stats come in is that we are Fauci's lab rats. All he's looking for is numbers and a vaccine.

He should be explaining that in most cases, it will resolve itself and you'll never know unless they test for antibodies. He should also be stressing that there are numerous therapeutics available and will work in more than 95-99% of the cases.

He's doing nothing more than creating a social experiment.

Did you know that during the 1918 epidemic, they built outside facilities so people would get fresh air. But here's Fauci...up until about a month ago...mandating quarantine for every living soul.

Fauci thinks about one thing....Fauci and the HIV vaccine that never came.

I have an N95er that has two breathing vents with a useless see through fabric, that I sometimes wear just for appearances sake. It looks like it will stop a .50 cal. bullet.

Some N95s have them, others don’t.

It should be sealed around the nose and mouth,

Which is why Hitler re-styled his mustache after he was gassed in World War I.

So I suppose the takeaway is that we should be more like Hitler.

The white ones seem to be more aesthetically pleasing than the hospital blue shades.

You can't wear white masks after Labor Day.................

How did you protect yourself from coughing/sneezing coworkers, before China Flu mask mandates?

Consider that those cloth masks need to be washed frequently least they become a sewer of wet nasties. I doubt many of those cloth masks being worn rarely if ever get washed. I refuse to wear one of those spiffy red masks with the corporate logo issued by my employer and instead use a disposable surgical mask which I frequently change especially in this bad allergy season where I may need to sneeze or have a runny nose.

Kate’s mask look just like the guaze fabric masks I made.

Her’s looks to be made from regular cotton. Mine are cotton gauze. Same look, but much easier to breathe in.

I thought the gauge was how effective they are at stopping spontaneous Trump rallies? :)

Generally avoidance. But I have a much higher awareness now, and some increased paranoia, admittedly, about getting seriously ill.

If I can, I wear no mask at all. Recently, the stores around here don’t seem to be enforcing mask-wearing, but the vast majority of shoppers are still wearing the stupid things. I don’t put one on from the time I enter to the time I leave, and the store people don’t say anything, but I only see one or two other maskless shoppers per trip.

Places like DMV or doctors’ offices are still all-mask, all the time, so I do have to mask up sometimes. For doctor stuff, I have a surgical mask with the white layers cut out.

I’m sorry to hear that.

I hope you can get over that (paranoia), soon.

= = = =

Where is ‘here’, if you don’t mind saying?

We’re in SE TX (Houston area) and most stores still have their absurd Masks are Required to Enter signs :-(

A little reality check; a n95 filters to.004, a virus is .001. Good luck with that mask thingy.

Well, let me give you a little reality check in return.

1. That .001 virus measurement is done in a vacuum, in an electron microscope. It is the measurement of a dried-out virus which has the same relationship to a live virus as a raisin does to the original grape it came from.

2. A bare naked virus particle is not what I have to worry about. It will dry out and become non-viable in minutes. The thing that is infectious is a virus floating in a water droplet, or more likely, a snot droplet. If a mask filters out the snot droplets it is going to protect me from the virus.

Those masks made out of bra cups can be kinda cute.

You don’t think that the FORCED virus particles, from a masked sneeze, won’t travel OUTSIDE of a mask...and, into your airspace (if you’re standing anywhere close by)???

I love the pictures that show Walmart People wearing various “masks”. Hilarity ensues.
