I had to wear one while getting a haircut yesterday. It's all a complete non-issue to me. In fact it's going to be weird when we eventually go back to not having to wear masks. I'm used to it. Expand I hate the damn things. I still haven't unearthed a surefire way to eliminate fogging of the glasses other than wearing the N95 or holding my breath. Someone suggested putting a tissue at the bridge of my nose. Apparently it works. That's exactly what I want to do. Add to the complexity of it. Maybe I can spend 10 minutes adding a trim of duct tape around the surgical mask so I can go into the gas station for 9.5 seconds. Edited June 19, 2020 by Indabuff Yes I'm aware I can use a credit card outside

shrader Posted June 19, 2020 Report Posted June 19, 2020 Mask are probably about to be come mandatory inside public locations around here. So the news was running a story about the proper use. Once it was done, they cut back to the reporter who was presenting the whole story. Take a wild guess where her mask was. She was actually talking about proper mask usage with her mask pulled down under her chin. I want to rant about how clueless these people are, but I'm starting to think that they know exactly what they're doing.

Expand I get where you are going but, in a piece about proper mask use it is only good sense to be demonstrating proper mask use. If nothing else, for reinforcement of the message. It’s a public service. 1
