I have 3 health conditions, I feel better wearing a mask. Last week there was a guy in the store who was constantly talking on his phone and even laughing. If he had the virus he was spreading it all over the damn store! I feel my mask, glasses and plastic gloves help protect me.
I completely understand. This thread is meant to protect you from people venturing out and putting you at risk just because they think they are safe with a mask, and to give you guidance for who to use these things effectively.

I have allergies, I'm an essential worker. I wear my mask at work as well as when I'm outside. I personally believe and feel better doing this. I do have a question. Do kids that had asthma when younger and no longer have it also wear masks? Asking for my daughter.

Is anyone sure it’s not an airborne virus? Germs in the wind and all that, if it lives on cardboard & surfaces etc

It's transmitted through respiratory droplets. Like when someone sneezes, bites their nails, anything with respiratory droplets. That doesn't qualify it as airborne.

Ur intentions are good, but you are overemphasizing the negative & patronizing us. Just tell people what masks can & cannot do, how to wear them, carefully take them off, & care for them. It's fine to add that mask-wearing is in ADDITION to other measures like staying home. Once.

Excellent thread. Thank you for your clarity. I’ve been under SAH orders since a Nov. car crash... still recovering. I go out once a week at most these days... but I dread having to go to the grocery. I wear a mask to protect myself as best I can, & gloves... but it’s scary.

... having scrubbed over 7000 cases, ( UF trauma team ) we don't talk in surgery. It moves the air. Masks are one tool in asepsis. We wear sterile garb, and dispose of it each contact. Thank you...
