Just had a conversation with a nurse who works daily with COVID patients. She says paper masks are worthless. Either keep 6 feet distance without a mask or wear a hospital grade mask and visor and gloves. She views paper masks (let alone bandanas) as totally worthless and says the doctors tell her the same thing.
Masks just make people feel good, like they are “doing something”. They give false confidence. But people vote based on false confidence.....
The 6 foot rule is workable and keep your time around others SHORT. Then wash up frequently. My county has about 25 cases confirmed in a population of 240,000. 1 person is hospitalized.
