Face masks or plastic face shields or both?

But shields are a good alternative to masks for the public for plenty of reasons, ranging from comfort, and superior ability to communicate verbally and non-verbally, says Diekema, who is the director of the division of infectious diseases at University of Iowa Health Care.


They are also hard to use incorrectly, are generally less obtrusive and intimidating.


“I think masks can be scary to some people and I’ve also noticed there is a level of discomfort when people are in masks because I’ve realized just how much I depend on seeing an entire face just to recognize people.”


While shields may not entirely block the respiratory droplets ejected during a cough or sneeze, they direct them downwards and prevent them from flying out in front of you, which is dangerous in face-to-face situations, he says.

No virus is getting through this mask in either direction, but will the wearer get enough air?

You're a fucking retard.

The man needs to breathe, does he not? You can't recycle your own air. When new air comes in, it might have the virus in it.

Jesus Christ. You don't have a baseline understanding of this virus, but you're spamming anyway.

If the air around you has droplets in it, then sucking in will cause a vacuum at the top, where the fresh air comes in, that will suck the virus in.

Also, you can contract Coronavirus through your eyes.

Also, if you're young and healthy, the virus is not a big deal.

Just another retarded thread started by a retard who doesn't know anything about this virus.

My post (#2 in this thread) already mentioned that issue, saying "No virus is getting through this mask in either direction, but will the wearer get enough air?"

According to the reviews the mask is easy to breath in:

Obviously. Nobody said otherwise. Maybe try reading again what i said above. No virus is coming in (or out) through the plastic of the mask. Unlike masks made of certain materials such as cloth.

Jesus Christ. You don't have a baseline understanding of this virus,

Evidently you're confused & have demonstrated no such thing.

So even if it won't kill me, should I kick my high risk parents out of my house? :think2:

IF you're living with high risk parents, then you should be social distancing.

The idea we need a governor to mandate that everyone in the state you reside in socially distances just so you are forced to rather than opting for the wise decision is a huge reason this country is turning to shit.

Did you mean I should be social distancing from them? Or in general? I have to drive them places. Everyone should be social distancing anyways yes.

Even if I lived alone, no mask, and I walk 6 feet away from someone that might it? People sometimes forget to keep distance, sometimes you cant. Sometimes you open the door to a store, and someone is trying to get out. boom, you are face to face 2 feet away. Tons of situational variables.

Masks help. Do they hurt? No. No one said they are 100 %. And even if I get it, I won't die, but I don't want to feel like shit for a week. Listen, there are a lot of variables, situations. Millions of examples, that you cannot answer for.


Like I'm a moderate centrist. I'm not on any side or agenda. I just think and analyze a lot. You know everything I said makes sense. I'm just saying. this shit looks like its here for a while, so just try it. It wont kill you, lol

Yes, you are right, The country is tourney into shit, but not because of masks. But because of cancel culture, virtue signaling. Rioters, Looters, protesters, all those people.

I think my general point is that everyone leads a different life. And that’s why broad sweeping government mandates are a disaster and do far more overall harm than good.

For instance, I’m not going to visit my parents or grandparents any time soon. So if I want to go to Wrigley Field for a baseball game, I should have the right to. If I was driving my parents around a lot, out of an abundance of caution, id avoid mass gatherings like that.

The liberals like to take your freedom away because they say they know best. And to prove they know best, they’ll look at the headlines from 1000 scientific studies and choose the ones that support their preconceptions. Only dumb people are fooled by this.

I mean shit, JB Pritzker is my governor. He’s making health decisions for 25 million people when he’s been a billionaire his whole life and weighs 375 pounds and has never exercised in his life.

He can’t even make common sense health decisions for himself, but liberals demand he have the full authority to make health decisions for the entire state. Unreal.

I don't know where you are from Illinois. but I am just watching the news, and 36 High School girls just got Covid from a summer camp. And you dont think they gave it to their parents when they got home? LoL.

So no one is social distancing either. And it's not being enforced. When you are forced to wear mask. First of all that can be enforced, and if you are more likely to social distance.


Another story of a youth boys football camp. No one is social distancing. One coach is wearing a mask. Thats all.

Most the cases in Chicago now, are 18-29. Who are going out, to bars. Some live at home. They dont know they have it until weeks later, after symptoms, after tests. abd in that time, who do you think the give it to? Everyone, lol

My point is, You might social distance. I might. But kids wont. So if you make masks mandatory, it reminds people to social distance.

Miami hospitals are full now. Its the new hot spot. No one social distances there now. Does anyone watch the news these days? These are simple facts. There is no agenda to control peoples lives, nor claim that masks work 100 % But If you wear a mask and someone sees you, they are more likely to keep your distance.

The fact is to me, masks or more of a reminder to people to keep your distance. This is all from today. And Chicago might soon go into another lock down. You have to connect the dots my friends. I mean if you only care about yourself, then that's cool , then I understand your point. Maybe you live in a farm town, but in Chicago and in the Suburbs, no one is social distancing.

let me ask you a question. who the fuck are you? you don't want to feel like shit for a week? i don't fucking care. we don't shut down businesses and ruin people livelihoods out of your discomfort.

societies have been getting the flu since the beginning of time. when did it become ok for nazi states to shut everything down over it?

wow man. you gotta grow up and get over your shit. your stories are ridiculous. but you keep watching the news and take it as gospel. just don't tell me about how you're mr neutral and above it all.

miami hospitals are not all full. quit spreading lies. they are spending more time sending in fake counts of positive tests.

the whole thing is a scam. a hoax. the faster you get that through your head the faster you will snap out of your shit.

you've been given advice you do what you like with it. but you know everything. you make foolish assumptions based on piss poor observations. i will make it simple for you. everybody is going to be exposed to it. everybody. if you can't get that through your head then don't talk to me. you go about your life assuming everyone should act like you because the media has spoon fed your sheep like brain and now you know everything. i wish you luck.
