Same. It's also not hot like a mask. I can wear it outside and forget I even have it on until my hand bonks into it because I mindlessly went to scratch my face. You don't even have to take it off to eat or drink.

Face shields own.

if you don't wear a mask with it you're not getting very much protection, the benefit when combined with a mask is that your eyeholes are covered in addition to your mouthhole which is only really important if people are getting right in your face and expelling virus at you

i got some face shields just in case i'm ever in that situation but in general a mask is better

Hmm, what have we here?
Speaking of Florida, I’m stuck in the Miami area for a week long layover in the aviation industry. I don’t actually have to do anything while I’m here so I had them get me a suite with my own kitchen on the north end of Fort Lauderdale beach.

The A1A and beach have been dead and the few people I see are mostly wearing masks in and out of businesses. People in the sand yesterday were few and far between.

It’s a bit of a relief to see that I can go for a walk and still avoid people.

Hi, it's me, I'm the guy driving in his car alone while wearing a mask. Why am I doing that? Well, I could just hold my mask in my hand, or shove it in my pocket until I get to my destination where it's required, or buy a special mask storage bag or box or something, or toss it somewhere in my car once I get in or... I could just store it on my loving face and not gently caress with it until I get back home. One of these options suits my lazy rear end just fine and it's the one that involves just wearing the loving thing until it's no longer needed.

Just lol if your car doesn't have a BSL-4 grade air purification system, an air lock, and gamma irradiation that activates between trips. If not, you may as well inject coronavirus directly into your lungs.

Also, you should be wearing TWO masks, you simp.

Don't wear two masks. The elastic bands will rub up against each other with repeated head movements, causing both masks to fail.

Anyone should be wearing a mask with their face shield because the bottom is open, so when you breathe, cough, sneeze, etc, particles are easily escaping from the bottom of the shield and it's just as bad for others around you as not wearing anything. The mask is necessary to protect others, the face shield just may also help the user.

So please wear both, if you're using a face shield!

note that wearing the same pair of gloves for an extended period of time is way less sanitary than just washing your bare hands regularly.

It is true. I don't wear gloves. But if you are out all day working or something, better to just wash your gloves instead of your hands to keep them from getting dried out and peeling.

It seems like face shields are about as performative as surgical masks in that they help reduce outflow particulate spread but do very little to protect from exposure if you walk into a cloud of roni fumes at the super market

imagine someone with pollen allergies simply wearing a face shield or a fire fighter running into a burning building with one of those Apple face shields

I was wearing my full face respirator in Home Depot in Boston a few minutes ago, and some loving' guy ran up to me with a white t-shirt with #plandemic and a bunch of nonsense scribbled on it, telling me how I of all people needed to read his shirt. I told him I was going to give him a free ambulance ride if he didn't get out of my face that second, and to put his loving mask back on (had one around his chin I assume so he could sneak in). Anyway he got the hint and went on to accost other less agitated customers. I don't have time for this poo poo. Go be mentally ill somewhere else.

He also said "Trump 2020 baby" on the way out, like he was checking off a bingo card.

flash forward to now when we realized we're ripping the carpet up anyway, so why not use climbing chalk on every surface as a temporary transmission buffer

Like a month ago I was getting gas at Sheetz and ran in to grab some food. As I'm crossing the parking lot a dude yells "GOD BLESS AMERICA! GOD BLESS AMERICA! GOD BLESS AMERICA!" at me and another person walking into the store. Then he goes "I WILL NOT BE MASKED!" as he hops in his car and drives off. I didn't see any Trump bumper stickers but, let's be honest, we know who he's supporting.

Face shields are really pointless unless you are wearing one because you have to have close contact with infected people. In which case you would also be wearing a heavy duty mask.

You can't stop me from wearing a face shield on top of a face mask. Keeps both my hands and whatever other flying particulates are heading in my direction from people I've never met before.

Preach Brother! I wear my Staple KN95's under my shield. It is pointless if you don't do both in the hot zone we live in. The idiots not wearing masks and breathing on you, then you sweat and it gets in your eyes or mouth or nose. So I was wiping my face down with alcohol pads when I got home, but now I won't need to, and yes I am an idiot. Anyway I hosed up today by taking my sunglasses off under the mask and touch my own face. Owe well, 14 days from now I am in the clear.

Also, I have ten shields 2 or 4 or going to others, whether they like it or not. But, what are some cool things to write in sharpie on a few of mine?

For context: Our governor in South Carolina is a scam artist, slumlord, and chronic political fuckup who owes his job to Trump and therefore does whatever strong daddy asks of him. So he refused to issue stay-at-home orders and threatened to override any mayor who did.

Notably and bizarrely, the only actual action he has taken has been to make bars close at 11, and he has been widely mocked for it.
