      Unfortunately, face masks offer no eye protection. When I asked the #Masks4All folks if they would include #FaceShieldsForAll in their letter, they said "no" Face shields are *inclusive* of those that read lips and children, offer eye protection and prevent face touchinghttps://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1260933057944547333 …

      Today, over a 100 experts (including two Nobel laureates, the editors in chief of The Lancet and Nature, the medical chair of UCSF) signed a letter asking for face masks to be required. The economy can't "open" if people don't feel safe. Here's our op-ed: https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2020/05/14/require-masks-stop-coronavirus-spread-over-100-health-leaders-column/5182076002/ … pic.twitter.com/LHteMW8AiW

      Face shields are now included in our updated scientific article, citing your piece! (Harder to change a letter once you have any signatures). Also harder to write a letter asking stores to require something that is not yet available to the masses, but hopefully it will be!

          So not only no objection to face shields, I agree that it can be better as long as the droplet protection holds and we can make it available to everyone. This letter is specifically about requiring something now, not what's best, and that had to be what was available to everyone.

          There is also good work coming out on higher-filtration masks, etc. I think improving the means to do source-control is the shared, obvious goal. For me, this letter comes down to what we can ask states to require right now. I hope we can keep improving what's available.

          Good to hear. Face shields are far more available than face masks online. The shipping time of face shields is days while most etsy face masks are weeks. Face shields can be manufactured in bulk - a single Iowa company can make >10,000/day for example.

          This last part hasn't been my experience! I've been waiting weeks for face shields (first order eventually canceled, next one has shipped but stuck in transit). I'm debating whether to order more face masks to tide me over.

          I bought one for $10 at a Dominican-run bodega in NYC. Obviously, that price allows for a lot of mark-up, yet it's still affordable given how long it will last.
