On the Matter of Face Masks
We often hear that face masks, particularly the N95 variety, may not be absolutely necessary except for health care workers and others directly in contact with COVID-19 patients.
However, we take a different approach, and wear face masks in public.
Why?
- To signal to others that we take this thing seriously and that we should pose little danger to them.
- Wearing a face mask — even a cotton bandana — when away from home (where you can’t readily wash hands before/after) is very helpful in preventing that behavior health professionals strenuously warn against — touching one’s own face.
Here’s just one formula for making your own.
I wouldn’t be surprised to start seeing a wave of artistic expression in the form of face maskery. Velouria?
BTW, some recommend carrying hand sanitizer whenever you venture out. We try to do this, or carry home-made alcohol wipes for those rare times it might seem warranted.
Be safe, be well.
Cheerio.
