Now some masks are outlawed by some companies and states. Bandanas, masks with valves that permit the wearer to breath though opening a valve and the neck masks are some of those. It said bandanas do nothing. So boys & girls it's back to the drawing board again. If we can't figure what an effective mask is how are we supposed to come up with a vaccine?
 

I have seen some reports on bandanas and different masks and they say bandanas do do some good. I think they are better than nothing but I've been wearing a 2 layer cotton mask with a filter in between when I have to go somewhere.
 
An article yesterday said bandana masks are practically useless. They're probably as useless as face shields.

The issue is in part how well the mask "seals" in all directions when it comes to aerosol protection. In that case the one I made from a Halloween mask is the safest as it clings to my face like a rubber glove. Seems to me this far in to the pandemic with many more people wearing protection added to more believers now that the number of cases would be on a decline. Apparently the only hope is vaccines. QUESTION: After the vaccines are available how will people get in to stores if they no longer need to wear masks? What ridiculous situation.

I'm guessing they will still need masks if they don't get the vaccine or if the vaccines are not very reliable. Yes, it is a ridiculous situation.
 
The only thing I can wear to cover my nose and mouth is a very thin scarf tied bandana style. If they don't allow me in stores with this, I'm leaving my state. I've just had it with being banned everywhere.
 
I have one of those valve masks & it doesn't allow me to breathe any better & I've tried to blow air out of that thing. I can barely feel it. It's easier for me to blow air out of a plain mask with no valve. I think they're just being paranoid. No more air gets out of those than any other mask. The bandana ones I can understand because they are 1 layer. with no filter. But some have filters. First they griped cuz there was no masks. Now they're griping about the masks? WTH does it end?
 
I think that from all the reading about masks and shields, it seems that protecting the eyes is very important. However, thinking about it, I would imagine that inhaling the droplets in the air would be more easier getting to me via a shield than a mask. Inhaling the droplets through the nose or mouth, which is exposed and when only using a shield. Isn’t it?

I give up. Maybe we should wear a mask, shield and goggles. What do you think?

At the very least, people should wear a mask or a shield and practice social distancing when sharing public spaces.
Additional layers of protection are up to the individual.

I saw on TV a person actually wear all three. That’s were I came up with the idea. It looked strange, but effective. The person wore goggles, a mask, a shield and a pair of gloves. Then, the announcer says that when you get home to store your shoes away from the inside of your house (why?) and also to put your clothes that you are wearing into the wash. Isn’t all that a bit of an over-kill?

My daughter-in-law is an OT in a hospital that has COVID patients, so she follows this advice. I could understand people doing this if they're in a high risk occupation like hers, or if they have contact with people with COVID.
Otherwise, yeah. Overkill.

Maybe you know the answer to this question. Are people who die checked for COVID-19 and if they test positive post mortem, are they counted in the daily new cases? I have been told by two different funeral directors that they draw blood from their dead and send it out for testing of COVID-19 and if positive, it’s counted as a new case here in PA. The one director told me that not all states are doing this. Do you know anything about thus?

Only the statements, rumors and innuendoes I've read here.
