Big difference in the kind of masks! The M95 is the one that is effective and you cant get them. A face shield is even more security, the little designer mask that people are making are not that great. Why is it they can give out stimulus checks but not enough masks and make people wear them. Its not going to end without some support of the public and leadership. Good idea. When the next stimulus check comes it should be hand delivered with a box of N95 masks and a face shield by a member of the covid police who will then follow you around and make sure that you wear them. Problem solved.

My friend needed to shave his bushy beard...he said when he wore his mask with the beard, it looked like a 1970’s panty commercial!

how long can you avoid exposure? you going to wear a spacesuit for the rest of your life? haul your tv to the dump. live your life under your own terms

LOL. If you want to extend the time between now and when you eventually become infected, social distance, avoid crowded indoor spaces, and wash your hands. Dart already demonstrated the lack of efficacy of wearing a mask. Unless his family was tested, he has no idea if any of his family became infected by him. My Family was tested and they were negative.

Kansas cat, you’re missing the point. Masks are not foolproof. The point of the mask, as I previously stated, is to keep the virus from being projected away from you when breathing, sneezing, talking or coughing. Can the virus get through a mask? Yes. Does the mask disrupt the air current created by your lungs and slow it down, keeping it closer to you? Also yes. That’s the point. Without a mask, you sneeze and infect the guy 15 feet away. With a mask you sneeze and no virus reaches him because the mask blocked the air current from carrying it that far.
If you can’t understand that, then your brain doesn’t work. Right there....thats it. Not a preventative, but can increase your chances of not spreading it. Simple, but difficult for most to accept and understand. A mask is not a vaccine, its something to hinder the spread. But not 100% effective. Nobody is claiming it is.

Wearing a mask to keep out cv19 is like using chain link to keep out mosquitos Some masks are probably better than others. I like the kN95.

The good thing about masks is that it saves paper bags!
