Thank you for posting the link on when to wear face masks. I see too many people wandering around in the grocery stores who are obviously not sick but are wearing masks, As the link says they are not airtight unless it’s a surgical mask. I saw one guy taking it off, dangling on the ear to chat with someone, and then putting it back on with his hand to his face after picking up products from the shelves. It may be peace of mind to someone but it can make you careless.

The suggestion to have everyone in the country wear masks is ludicrous and will encourage a false sense of protection.

According to the doctors on tv this morning, people who are wearing masks are actually protecting you against them. They may not realize this, but the masks will not prevent the virus from entering through the blue masks. Viruses are very tiny and can pass through these flimsy masks. The wearer of the mask can help with the spread of the virus because breathing normally should keep the larger droplets from escaping into the air around the outside of the mask. It’s not a perfect solution.
