@cindiwass- Good morning- I saw the article yesterday in the NY Post. Some people seem to be getting very lax with wearing masks. And no matter how pretty they are if you aren't wearing the correct kind you could get COVID-19. And no matter how pretty they are if you aren't wearing the correct kind you could get COVID-19.

And just a reminder from Mayo:

How to wear a cloth face mask

The CDC recommends that you wear a cloth face mask when you're around people who don't live with you and in public settings. They do not take the place of social distancing. If you aren't wearing the correct mask you could get COVID-19.
Here are a few pointers for putting on and taking off a cloth mask:

Wash or sanitize your hands before and after putting on and taking off your mask.
Place your mask over your mouth and nose.
Tie it behind your head or use ear loops and make sure it's snug.
Don't touch your mask while wearing it.
If you accidentally touch your mask, wash or sanitize your hands.
If your mask becomes wet or dirty, switch to a clean one. Put the used mask in a sealable bag until you can wash it.
Remove the mask by untying it or lifting off the ear loops without touching the front of the mask or your face.
Wash your hands immediately after removing your mask.
Regularly wash your mask with soap and water by hand or in the washing machine. It's fine to launder it with other clothes.

And, here are a few face mask precautions:

Don't put masks on anyone who has trouble breathing, or is unconscious or otherwise unable to remove the mask without help.
Don't put masks on children under 2 years of age.
Don't use face masks as a substitute for social distancing.

I don't even own a bandana.
