vanity: help w/valve masks?
vanity

Hello - i'm stuck in CA. the politburo here has graciously allowed gyms to reopen, but muzzles are required and valve masks have been banned for being too comfortable.

i'm going to order some single-layer gauze masks off of etsy, but does anyone have any recommendations on how i can conceal the valve holes on a valve mask? (maybe by removing the valve and sewing a thin layer of gauze over it?)

Has anyone used neck gaiters and cut vents in them?

Just a normal surgical mask is probably good enough if you find you can breath well enough with it.

If you wear glasses and they fog, you can use double sided tape in the top of the mask and your glasses will not fog as much.

If you want to wear that N95 valve mask, then just wear the normal surgical mask over top of it.

This system works pretty well and keeps you “legal” and you will be able to breath a lot easier than if you just used a non-valve N95.

thanks. it’s wretched to use them while wearing glasses. i’m seeing a lot of single-layer gauze masks on etsy that are as porous as the transparent mesh ones but look solid. that’s my backup plan.

[...] so if i wear a neck gaiter or non-valved mask, i’m still going to be spewing covid everywhere [...]

= = = =

If you are going to be spewing covid everywhere, perhaps you should refrain from going to the gym, as you are ill. Self-quarantine.

If you aren’t ill, then you won’t be spewing covid anywhere and mask style and type doesn’t make a damn bit of difference.

But, Halloween is coming up!
What a great time to choose a mask that REALLY represents how you feel!!!!

Conservatives should have fun with it. Maybe they will ban masks on October 30 to be contrary!

Babies were not recognizing their parents when the parents were wearing the communist face uniform. So, they developed masks that are clear, hard plastic over the nose and mouth with a plastic/rubber frame around the outside.

I don’t know how much good it does, since it would be constantly fogged up and the baby still wouldn’t recognize anyone.

We’re destroying a generation of Americans, is what we’re doing. Fauci’s on my list.

yes, but kalifornia has still forbidden them. that’s why i’m trying to use a valved mask but hide the valves.

At the risk of sounding repetitious, the solution to the root cause of this problem is to move to a freer state. Otherwise I wish you luck.
