In contrast you have no rebuttals just weasel words like "they don't know". They are the ones there to make these kinds of determinations during a pandemic. And they have made that determination.

In contrast to the evidence they (both US CDC and ECDC) have presented... there's no attempt at a rebuttal. Just weasel words and dog whistling about muzzles. Muzzle? Take your dog whistling nonsense to the conspiracy theory thread. Your posts have embarrassed this thread for long enough.

Like it or not face coverings are here to stay for some time. I don't like wearing them and find interaction in shops difficult in shops, as we can't hear each other properly. But so be it. It's a small thing to do, in the grand scheme of things.

Kendrick Jolly Ibex wrote: » If you can't articulate your reasons for wearing a muzzle in your own words other and need to use pictures for it to be explained to you like we would do with a 4 yo child then it reflects badly on you, not me. It's a pity muzzle advocates wouldn't follow "expert advice" when it comes to smoking and lifestyle as they do when it comes to wearing a muzzle to show how compliant they are.

jill_valentine wrote: » This is a non commercial presentation but - I've tried a load of masks because I wear glasses so trying to get one that's comfortable but doesn't fog up my lenses was a bit of a nightmare. For a while I was going with a bandit style bandana, which was excellent at preventing fog up but left a lot to be desired, I imagine, in that you're still largely free n' easy at the bottom of it. The one I'm using now is one I got from Groupon with two filters, and I'm quite impressed with it for the price - https://www.groupon.ie/deals/face-mask-filters-1?nlp=&CID=IE&uu=ef3f0c54-bfec-427b-8dd9-bef110377c8a&utm_source=groupon_transaction_succeeded-goods&utm_medium=email&sid=groupon_transaction_succeeded_20200623&date=20202306&sender=rm&s=body&c=link&d=deal-url It doesn't look like the image, it's cotton with a white lining rather than the neopreney-looking image, and the plastic "filter" nubbin is basically cosmetic. It has a pocket for changing filters, and closes well under the chin. There's a wire over the top so you can keep it flush to your nose and it won't fog, and there are neat little ear adjustment things you can see in the picture. It's Groupon, so it's probably possible I lucked out and got a particularly good one, but I'd recommend it again, I've seen people pay more for less.

Supposed to be very good at protecting person wearing and others from that person in terms of transmission. Also, supposed to be more comfortable then normal N95

We wanted to fire up all the Clemson University printers to make shedloads of them but the Trustees were having none of it because of 'liability' this and that, they were concerned as they wouldn't be sterile (this was before nurses were running around in trash bags, are those sterile!?) but I digress.

Most people in retail, and an increasing number of regular folk have been opting for them on the false pretense that they offer protection. Let's hope we can be a bit faster in keeping up with the science this time.
