Actually we can't decide for ourselves as you stated. Not when it's “required” and posted so before entering a business etc. They can ask you to leave.

Further they keep adding new threats, from how you dispose of disposable gloves, to how many times you can wear a mask. etc.etc.

It's getting absolutely ridiculous.

I meant that we each decide what to believe in answer to your comment, “soo I don’t believe all that’s being said about this virus.”

We learn, see what happens and share knowledge.

Some of us are in states with more controlling Democrat influence. Others of us are in states that are unrestricted, although some of the big cities are.

I’m guessing that our regulatory environment affects our perspectives. In other words, many of those of us in less restrictive states might be more likely to see fewer threats from government and to follow information from epidemiologists.

For people who are bothered by a mask but will wear it anyway, it can be worn loosely around the edges. If you wear glasses, it can be worn fitted snugly across the top and sides but loosely at the bottom.

The way to get it fitted across the bridge of the nose (to avoid fogging glasses) is to have a slim pipe cleaner pocket sewn across the top of the mask like a hem but with an open section in the middle. That way, the pipe cleaner can be taken out before laundering the mask.

In the craft section of a large Walmart, there are packs of objects that look like pipe cleaners but larger and more colorful. Those work well.

Yeah, masks are a bother. But anyone wearing one anyway might be able to make the experience a little more tolerable. I received that info from someone who is required to wear masks to keep her job. She did some research before designing and making the masks for herself and others with similar work requirements.

Some doctors, their family members and other clinic and hospital employees in the area have been making and using masks of the same design (snug fit all around the edges, two layers of cotton quilting cloth—looks something like linen but a little heavier and with a more dense weave). The masks are put into a plastic ziplock bag after use and often replaced with clean masks. Dirty masks are laundered daily and rinsed several times to get as much detergent out of them as possible after washing.

If you know someone who is required to wear glasses or goggles at work (e.g., to screen others for infection), tell them to have a look at shooting glasses. Some of the new ones are easier to wear and don’t look as odd as other safety glasses while fitting closely to the face around the edges.
