Wearing a mask, yes or no.

One of the few prezzies I was gifted yesterday for my birfday was this remote African plains styled mask :)

Absolutely. I have returned to my security contractor job since bus driving has effectively ceased to exist as a source of income. I am required to wear a mask of some kind to limit the spread of aerosolized germs.

We don't use N95s. Our employer provides dust masks and surgical masks. Many of us already have fabric coverings or specially made masks. Mine has a pocket allowing me to fit a surgical mask on the inside for additional filtering. Hoping this helps even if only a little.

A doctor friend of mine started using coffee filters to line her mask. Easily replaced and mask is washable.
Obviously not a tested method but at least it's more than a dust/surgical/cloth mask would have.

we have a few n95 masks we put in our bug out kit a couple of years back. our area is subject to forest fires... so we use them when we go out to the store to reprovision. we also have some home brew cloth masks that a very nice friend made. after each use, into the steamer they go. My wife handle that. As I recall it is bring steam to boil. 5 min heat on, burner off, coast home for 5... so far so good.

If I make 3 stops, I put the mask on and leave it on. After the last stop, I take
le it off outside the car abd baggie it. Hand sanitizer for hands in between stops and disinfectant wipes for the car things we touch at each... so far so good...

We stopped with gloves. Save 'em for those disinfecting hot chilies we cook with ;-)

we have now been socially distant since first week of March... seems an eternity. Might be the new normal, at least for some time.

My sound company schedule is toast... and I'm fine with that.
