A cousin of mine asked me a question that I can't answer maybe someone here can. I asked him why he was wearing his mask below his nose and he told me that he thought the purpose of the mask was to prevent droplets that might have the virus from spreading out to other people. I told him yes. He then said, that every thing he's read references these droplets being spread by people talking to each other. He then said, he doesn't talk through his nose and unless he sneezes on someone, he's not spreading droplets (and if he has to sneeze he pulls up his mask).
Pulling his mask over his nose, he says, fogs his glasses and no defogger suggested works. He said he was tired of not being able to see where he's going. He hates wearing the mask, but he does it, he just slips his nose out when he needs to see and he doesn't see the harm in it.
I have to confess, what he said makes sense to me. If the purpose it to block droplets, not the virus itself, you don't need to always have your nose covered.
So he ins't talking out of his nose, so he doesn't cover it.
How bout all the people who are talking out their ass?
Should they wear one on their ass?
Yep. If you wear a mask when you're alone in your car, riding a bicycle or walking in the woods away from people, you're officially a 'tard.
If you're running errands and need to hop in and out of your vehicle it's just easier to remain masked-up the entire time.
I don't know of any jurisdiction that has made masks mandatory during outdoor exercise. Could be wrong.
Prior to Covid-19 I could be jogging/running in a desolate canyon here in southern California only to suddenly turn a corner and run into someone. Like 3-4 feet of them. It's rare but it happens.
How about the guy I saw the other day standing at the crosswalk waiting for the light to change? Looked about 80 years old and had on all his doomsday props (rubber gloves, sunglasses mask & plastic face shield). When he goes to press the walk button on the pole, he uses the bottom part of his un-tucked shirt between the button on the pole and his gloved hand.
So, whatever he was trying to avoid touching with his gloved hand, is now on his un-tucked shirt bottom, which he'll just wear into his home, lay on the couch wearing it, and probably crawl into bed wearing it too. LOL morons in masks!
I wish my mind wasn't thorough like that sometimes though. That's why I wonder if it's kinda pointless to wash your hands at a public bathroom.
Seriously, what is going on in the brain of someone that wears a mask but doesn't cover their nose. They might as well take the freaking mask off.
Officials and the Media need to place more emphasis on wearing masks the proper way.
I'm on of these people.
Know how to wear it properly but don't cover my nose as I can't breath for crap when I do.
Already had it 2 months ago before many people were wearing mask around here. Not worried about catching it again. Did stay home and self isolate for 14 days when I had it and had my groceries delivered and never left house once.
