Quarantine or not?

They are telling us to make our own using a bandana and rubber bands!

Wearing one while driving by yourself in your car is just stupid. But I've seen it here.
Wearing a regular mask protects others, not the wearer. If you cough sneeze etc, your droplets from exhaling get stopped from projecting outwards.
If you are wearing a properly fitting N95 mask it protects you as well. N95 meaning it stops 95% of some specified size of airborne particles.

No, I don't wear one. I control coughs by coughing into my shirt, jacket, whatever.

This is correct.. PPE (bandanas or masks) protect others from your droplets. Spit is released every time we speak. These low level projectiles still hit hit your surroundings for others to come in contact with.
Where I agree masks in your car looks stupid. I disagree that it is. All my family uses the same car now. We are all out shopping various places. Coming in contact with the unknowns. We sanitize but in reality many things get touched that may not be properly hit.
Along with the ever present and unknowingly touch of your own faces. Masks help to limit that.
We have now several cases that popped up at stores we shop at that are also less than 1/8 mile from my house.
I'm pushing 60 and recently was diagnosed with a significant heart issue. This is about as serious as it gets for me.
saves others lives. Not just the wearer.

Ah yes. Perspective.
I'm the only one that drives my vehicles so I guess I was kind of blind to the 'multiple driver' scenario.

Yea...to simplify, you wearing a mask is meant to protect other people from you in case you have Covid-19 and don't know it.

Just try coughing in a grocery store and see the dirty looks you get

Try shopping for your mom, mom in law, and yourself. People think you are a hoarder buying multiples of everything. lol

Day by day we are de-volving...

[JH27N0B]

With all the hair salons closed down, I'm hearing a lot of blondes are de-volving into brunettes!

I`ll be back to my `70`s hairstyle in another couple weeks.

Interesting video on microdroplets.  I only wish they had shown comparison of coughing or sneezing with different layers of masking to see how much of a reduction each type made.
