Thread: Local news on Covid 19

I'm wondering if we will see people wearing masks during flu season. I've also heard people talking about reduced pollen allergy symptoms due to masks. So, I think it is possible that it becomes more common.

They've been commonpace in China for a long time.

I tink you may be right, I've been wearing one long enough that i don't feel right without one now. I even have different colours to coordinate with my clothes.

My girlfriend made a matching mask with each dress she made. She will probably check the pollen count before she decides what to wear.

You mean using common sense ????

In 2018 when we had the worst air quality in the world for 2 weeks due to fires on 4 sides of us, I stuck a N95 on my wife and made her wear it..

But then again properly fitted N95s actually work, to bad people don't read and learn about the differences and efficacy of real masks.

Most accurate info is available from NIOSH and OSHA dated pre 1/1/20... Of course then people might learn of the actual dangers of wearing non-vented masks

Yeppers info is valuable

An increase in common sense is way more than I was hoping for.
