Can I use a face shield instead of a mask? No.

No. Health officials don’t recommend the clear plastic barriers as a substitute for masks because of the lack of research on whether they keep an infected person from spreading viral droplets to others.

Face shields have the added benefit of protecting your eyes and discouraging you from touching your face by acting as a physical barrier, says Christopher Sulmonte, project administrator of the biocontainment unit at Johns Hopkins Hospital.

Though we see it all the time here in our little shithole town in Texas.

“Lack of research” followed by “available research”. Make ur mind up. Or just use common sense. Masks were supposed to stop spread. Would u rather be behind a plastic shield or a cloth if someone sneezed in front of u?

I'm no doctor, but I think the biggest issue is touching your eyes. It's a direct path with only your eyelashes to protect against, well, things going into your eyes. Nose hair, mucus, ear hair and wax, saliva, but the eyes have nothing like that. My hypothesis.

Abc News this mornig showed results from testing face shields.. they do nothing .

Should’ve used: No ❤️

I can, I do, and I will continue to do so.

I prefer a mask. It hides my grimace of disgust, and hatred, from being forced to wear a dog collar and muzzle.

Also, do not use those stupid, useless masks with valves.

Duh! Like can I use my toilet paper or my hand?

Can I use one of these gob rags if I run out of Johnnys?

Shut up. You don't know what you're talking about.

How about duct tape? Over the nose, of course

CDC had a story awhile back about an outbreak in a business. Out of 5 employees, 2 employees who wore just face shields got sick, while the other 3 employees who wore masks didn't get sick. Optimally you should wear both mask and shield.

i use a feed bag

Can I use neither? Yes.

Jajajaja pero qué invento es éste

Take the masks off. Open the Country. Everybody quit acting stupid. Now.

Can the government tell me what to do with my body? No!

I would prefer to use my freedom.

just say no to both. i prefer to use my immune system

keeping your head in the sand is the best protection

I'll save you all some time.

Well, thanks for telling us what to do! LOL, there's no limit to communist regulations.

Seems obvious, but then again I thought we would wait to open schools.🤦🏽‍♂️
