I use a nasal allergy charcoal filter. Passes plenty of air through and blocks the same particles as the blue masks. Just cannot wear the masks, feels like im struggling for air. Throw the filter under a UVC lamp when I get home for 5 minutes. Unlike masks you don't have to always be tugging on these. I'm not a mouth breather so i'm not spewing breath unless someone talks to me requiring I answer.

Nasal filters

“You can’t wear white masks after Labor Day.”

LOL! Certainly a fashion faux pas!

Reminds me of a guy I saw pull into a parking spot, at a grocery store.

He was in his electrician work truck....which had all kinds of cr@p on the dash....and, once in Park, he grabbed the dangling surgical mask from his mirror, and proceded to enter the store (he put mask on, on way to entrance).

No telling how many times he’d worn the same mask, and/or what/where all it had been, in between times worn.

Masks overall are worthless unless one is totally spewing the virus and should be isolated anyway. Those who have pre-existing conditions,compromised,high risk etc should use COMMON sense.The masks have made everything much worse. The curve has flattened and the death rate is actually lower than other SARS and viruses. This new “curve” with “positive” Covid test is absolute BS.

You aren’t filtering the virus because the virus isn’t traveling by itself. It travels on respiratory droplets. How you don’t understand this is totally beyond me. It’s ignorance to a completely née level. But since you think it doesn’t work, have you surgeon take it off the next time you are operated on. Let them breath droplets all over you.

It’s easier to filer wet concrete than dry concrete, which is basically what is happening. Figured I needed to draw this out with a crayon for you.

We have no idea how many people we see wearing masks who think it’s stupid, but have better things to do with their time than argue it.

This is why I finally settled on carrying that old one in a pocket and if they insist on it to let me enter, I put it on, then take it off once inside. If they hound me inside, I put it on, but expose my nose. If they continue hounding, I cover my nose.

But nobody has noticed that I have 9 gaping holes in my mask so I can breathe. Well, they don’t admit they notice. I think that once I get my mask on, they are good because, truth be told, many of them don’t believe masks matter but they have to toe the company line.

Pima County, AZ, specifically NW Tucson and out into the Avra Valley/Marana area. The “Masks Required” signs are still everywhere, but a few of us are ignoring them whenever possible.

Yep.

My mask is (not quite see thru) gauze.

I’ve only received one strange look, from it.

An older cashier who was giving it the once over, when I had to talk to/answer her.

That makes sense.

We have friends in AZ who’ve pretty much been going about their daily lives, as usual (pre-Wuhan), this entire time.

Eating at restaurants, not wearing masks, going to church, having their hair done, etc.

He kinda lost me when he used that dust mask without pinching the metal nose clip around his nose.

Im 71 and cannot walk into Walter Reed for the same treatment the President gets. I also live at the edge of the Navajo Reservation which per capita has had the highest infection and death rate than most states. The reservation population pours into the border towns on the weekends. Since they can most assuredly be considered super spreaders and the non natives need to shop alongside them, protect yourself as you wish. Hardly insane not to want to catch this chicom weapon or take it home to a wife with copd. But, ya gotta eat.
I'll check into the insane asylum later.
