That's not hoarding that is folks who never had the need finding that they did need something and then moving down the line to less effective substitutes until they were also sold out.

If you are obese it should be mandatory for gloves and masks. Since the obese folks are dying faster and require more hospitalization.

I certainly hope you are joking; If you are that is pretty clever, if not the comment is not particularly funny.

That's a whole different argument than claiming it's ineffective in protecting you.

LOL, that's true. Still working on the modifications. My husband called the original bra a "2 person mask", but we figured trying it that way violates the 6 foot "social distancing"
rule so better to separate the cups and go from there.

No. Wearing a helmet at all times protects you against a very small risk, but its obviously not worth it. Wearing a mask if you are social distancing isn't going to provide a significant reduction in risk to the wearer. And that's primarily why the pro-maskers want people to wear masks, because they think it will protect themselves.

You have any hard data to support that?

I bought some cotton masks on etsy. Will have to wash them after each use. It’s not the best but at least it’s something. I wish I didn’t have to go to work every day and be around hundreds of people.

Sorry dude.

I remember wearing bandanas when I mowed our lawn in the 70's because I had allegies and we were too poor to afford masks.
Why are you sorry?
