The big problem with the masks is not confusion:
1. They don’t work because they force the wearers to inhale and exhale around their edges. They are not military grade small particle masks.
2. And even if they worked, for most people, the disease is not serious enough to justify forcing everyone to wear one. This is not the Sanish flu or Ebola.
3. They make breathing more difficult, which is why we are seeing even young store clerks uncover their nostrils.
My beard has anti-viral properties. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
About the only things the mask does is block spray from a sneeze and fog up my glasses.
