Today I found my stash of q95 masks. I had a box....must have had nearly 50 masks so with them and our washable cloth masks I suspect we may be set up to weather the storm.

I finally pulled out the N-100 respirator I bought to survey a mold infested building in Syracuse NY that has been in a zip lock bag for the last 15 years. Folks at the local supermarket abandon the isle I am in. Ok, maybe the tyvec body suit has something to do with it.

Post Coughing In Line

It's no joke ~ I was at the Food 4 Less and some old guy was blocking the aisle, I was just waiting behind him wearing my mask and I coughed (I used to smoke) and he took off like a scared cat and hid out behind the beer cooler....

After my latest pilgrimage to the BBS (Big Box Store) I noticed lots of people wearing masks of a great variety. Seems trivial but this is a rather isolated area and not a lot of shopping. The BBS is like a beacon that is a destination for a large geographic area the size of small states. Anyway I assumed they must be purchasing them and did not already have them at the onset. I looked on Amazon and there is a variety of masks and face coverings(this is probably old news to most)so I ordered up some that had good reviews. We will see when (if) they arrive. They are probably on their way from China as I write this.

yeah. We have a few that were made by local people. Mine is too small to really seal off well, but we have other manufactured ones too. They interfere with my glasses though.

I think that in this case, wearing a mask is just a necessity in order to stop this virus.

Tell this dumbass.

Mike Pence tours Mayo Clinic without coronavirus mask even though he was told to wear one

When Pence responded to the question about the mask he flashed a turn of arrogance which I have not seen from him before. I suspect he was pissed at the question.

Especially for those that are sick or not sick with the virus. Yet still contagious.

Thumbs up Post # 43

I wonder if that suit would allow me to wear my helmet.... .

If it's nylon it'll prolly have good sliding capacity in case I crash yet again .

To - day as I was getting jerked around by the Foster agency and CVS drugstore I discovered they're selling washable masks cheaper and better quality than the curb side hawkers, only $1.99 each, limit 4 .

I still hate the damn things but I guess I gotta wear them out side the house...
