“Too bad for the morons and slobs. Most kids can learn to wear one properly if properly taught.”
I wish our idiot governor (Inslee, WA) would put his stupid press conferences to good use and have some experts show how to don and doff a mask. Or at least direct them to a youtube video.
I saw one guy the other day with an N95 on sideways. Had the straps around each ear like a surgical mask is worn!
Others will have both straps above or both below the ears. Or one strap just above the ear and the other just below the ear. Or just using one strap (Hey - this mask comes with a spare!) And these are folks that are concerned about their health I guess. But I’m not about to tell some stranger how to wear their mask properly!
Did you see the pic of Steny Hoyer and his mask? One elastic around one ear, and the mask hanging straight down to his shoulder. So funny.
Of course, that crowed has been pumped so full of HCQ they’ll never get sick, and their masks are jokes.
Even those who wear the masks incorrectly don’t blow the virus as far as without a mask. Most of the virions that travel further in the smaller particles of moisture probably deactivate or weaken very quickly after being exhaled, their envelopes deteriorating. That’s the reason for the two meter (six foot) rule and a few other precautions. On surfaces, larger moisture films or even oils might make the virions active longer, thus the precautions about what we touch.
On temperatures and humidity, notice what’s been happening in some meat processing companies. Those places are heavily air conditioned (refrigerated). Air conditioners dehumidify and cool the air to a better environment for virus endurance. On recently purchased meat at home, put the old packages in the trash (outside or in cans with lids) and simply cook it. Wash hands, utensils used on raw meat, etc.
