"I can't wear a mask" "alternative products?

[Brian37]

I had a dental appointment a couple weeks ago.  I was wearing one of the masks I made.  In came a gentleman with a disposable medical mask followed by a woman with a cloth mask.  All our masks were properly covering our noses and mouths.

Then in comes a woman with no mask.  She dug out a ratty mask from her purse and put it on.  It drooped down exposing her nose.  As she waited to be called to the sign-in window she pulled the mask down to where it basically covered her chin.  At the window she pulled it back up over her mouth but her nose was still exposed.  Then she took paperwork to fill out and sat down where she again moved the mask to her chin.  It was pretty obvious that she was technically wearing a mask though what she was doing was useless.

The guidelines have been pretty clear that a double layer cloth mask covering the nose and mouth is the good choice and one with a filter even better.  There are those who don't go so far as to not wear a mask at all but draw the line at wearing one properly.  As long as they have a mask on somewhere near their face they are technically following the rules.

The face shields, I suppose, are better than nothing but without a mask they are not the best choice.  When you see a sign outside a business that states a face covering is required the face shield fills that requirement.

I really hate the half assed people who  "wear" a mask but don't do it properly. I actually hate them more than the assholes who don't wear one at all.

This is what you need....

HA HA HA HA HA HA.......

I know what this is, and I wonder how many "youngens" do.

My late adoptive parents had a scale model brass replica of this.
