Probably, if you are going to “mask”, a MAGA mask or a LIBs SUCK! mask would be the best choices.

If I’m forced to wear a mask, it will be a neck tube. And I’m pretty sure Herr DeWine will be demanding masks soon. I think DeWine is steaming that Cuomo beat him to the punch.

Nothing is “ideal”! So deal with it!

Masks need to be viewed from the lens of what you want to protect.

If you are protecting other, you want something that keeps you germs / particulates as close to you has possible. Scarves and paper masks help here.

If you are protecting yourself, you want something that keeps germs / particulates as far away from you as possible. This requires a respirator that is N95 or N100 .... can be sterilized, and is tightly fitted to the face. Not your normal surgical mask.

If you really want to drive some bonkers, put on a Confederate Battle Flag handkerchief mask.

But in the limited studies

So you don't need thousands of people in double blind studies to make medical proclamations with the power of law on this topic, but it will take years to convince the MSM that hydroxychloroquine is effective?

Starting tomorrow, my employer (I’m an “essential critical infrastructure worker”) will be requiring us to wear masks. I have a “Stars and Stripes” one I’ll probably wear. That, or the Marine Corps Marathon one, with a picture of the War Memorial.

I did see a MAGA mask 2 days ago in a grocery store. It went well with his MAGA hat.

People will stay further away from me if I don’t have a mask than they would if I’m wearing one

What a DA. Sure, let’s just “spread it out” throughout the year. If we put the kiddos back in school, isolated the vulnerable and just let this run its course, the SAME NUMBER OF PEOPLE will die and it would have been over by now, this bug is so virulent.

EVERYONE is going to get this bug; don’t be a DA.

3 months of this BS and nothing will be left. You thought TP was hard to find...

Besides, cloth is more BS. Population control. Manipulation. Public endangerment when it comes to folks to have a high risk of complications, because I’ve talked to people who believe that cloth masks protect THEM from others as a result of all this reckless BS.

Irony:

In contrast, if I’m forced to wear a mask, it will compel me to take action which puts me squarely in line with the oath I took.

the widespread use of masks during the 2003 SARS epidemic significantly reduced transmission

Widespread? Really? in The USA? I do not recall this at all.

If the material is doubled up, perhaps a pocket can be created to insert the paper element from a HVAC filter (Filtrete HVAC filters - purple - for viruses).
