I would NEVER shame someone into wearing a mask. Members of my family currently have COVID. They took ALL precautions to prevent getting it. I currently am in not good health and am helping them as I can. I wear a mask to protect myself....and use common sense washing hands, etc. That’s all I can do.
People have lost their minds.
Are you wearing a fit-tested N95 or better respirator, and are you trained in donning & doffing PPE?
If not, then what you've got there on your face is a contaminated foamite / placebo and false sense of security.
There is never really any way for the average person to protect themselves 100% short of walking around in a bio hazard suit and even then you will probably mess it up taking it off
Early on there was a Dr showing how to sanitize groceries. He had the counter split into two sides. I can’t remember exactly what he did but I said, DUDE, you just transferred the germs from the unsanitized side to the sanitized side..
Even he messed it up.
“I wear a mask to protect myself....and use common sense washing hands, etc.“
It is likely your common sense hand washing is doing most of the work. The single greatest helper vs viruses mankind has seen is soap. Number two in the list is not even close.
Remember when our parents taught us to cover our mouth when we cough or sneeze and to wash our hands? Sound advice, which helped greatly and did not diminish the freedoms Americans cherish.
