        @Copper it would hide the nosebleed you'd get from a punch in the nose, amirite?

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          @Copper I think you are right! I doubt you would see many protesting people without a mask if they had one of these!!

            I know some places where you could wear that.

                Here’s a good accounting for what is behind WHOs guidance.

                https://abcnews.go.com/Health/cdc-offer-conflicting-advice-masks-expert-tells-us/story?id=70958380

                Short answer, most people in the world can’t get masks so that recommendation would make the WHO look bad in offering impractical advice. Guess what, they can’t shelter in place either but on the upside no one wants to visit them.

                    @jon-nyc I agree.

                    It bothers me that people think they are making some statement "against the man" if they dont wear a mask.

                    How stupid!!!!

                      There are still people who think the pandemic is nothing but a Barge-type plot to usher in the New World Order.

                      If it were they'd be smart enough not to collapse the world's healthiest economies to do it.

                        @Mik there’s almost always a group of normalish looking conspiracy theorists holding up signs, and protesting in front of the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation building.

                        I don’t get out often, but when I do drive by - always there without fail.

                          Last night, a local restaurant district was swamped. While the restaurants closed certain tables to try and accommodate the social distancing requirements, people at their tables would spread out a little and people were in each other’s spaces. On top of that, you had others that weren’t able to get a table so they ordered takeout and was taking it out into the park/square in the middle of the plaza. So they ordered the food and stood around in the restaurant waiting for 20-30 minutes... So even though the restaurant was technically seating only 50% capacity, they were over capacity with all the people standing around. And these people looked around and saw all the diners without masks and figured there was no point in them wearing one and took it off as well.

                          The outside was even worse... And this was happening at each of the 12 restaurants in the district...

                          My food wasn’t ready when I got there, so I paid the waitress an extra $20 to bring it to my car. No way I was staying in there.

                                      Anybody performed a study on what is growing on these masks y'all keep putting on your face?

                                      Yea... didn't think so.

                                      Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run, there's still time to change the road you're on.

                                        Best not take any chances, then, right?

                                        Of course, way less people get sick from masks than die every year from seasonal flu.

                                        I was only joking

                                          Mostly the germs I was breathing out that are already in me and a few maybe a few from outside that I would have inhaled. Of course, it’s better on the mask since viruses and germs generally need a living host and die off on cloth and these paper masks...

                                          But just in case, I also wash my cloth masks and use a UV light to disinfectant the others.
