Well, so much for this:

Lol!

I want a frowny face scarf

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?

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.

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).

[ßuddaßudd]

next we will be forced to buy .gov approved masks and such to go back to werk. ..
im getting anxious ..

[Lurker]

I have a selection of similar masks in various Mossy Oak patterns. It’s great fun at the grocery store.

The problem with some of these tightly woven masks is that CO2 you exhale gets trapped in the mask and you breathe it in, resulting in lower oxygen intake (hypoxia) causing damage to your heart and brain.

Your link doesn’t match the article. Would you please provide the correct link to the article about cotton face masks?

The other article at your link—about companies donating to the cause—is very worthy and deserves its own thread and headline on FR.

Thank you for calling Domino's Pizza, this is Cthulhu, how can I help you?

Of course it’s not ideal. It’s a statistical mitigation.
