Mask Requirement

[1DisneyNut]

We actually saw a man in a full gas mask at the store yesterday, and it did totally freak me out!

Gas masks only filter breathing in and just simply vent out don't they? For coronavirus they say masks work the best when those infected but don't know it yet are wearing them to catch the particles they breathe out. I guess the guy wearing the gas mask is protecting himself very well from potentially breathing it in and catching it but if he were to get infected and be breathing it out, he would be spewing it everywhere even with the gas mask on.

Depends on the gas mask. Military grade, one way in and out.

A good question is how much a military-grade respirator will cost. I really want to believe that we will soon stop the virus. Vaccination is already starting slowly and it is a matter of time before the population will receive their doses of the vaccine. Until the elderly, people with chronic diseases, doctors, teachers are vaccinated, the rest are waiting and hoping for an early solution to the problem.
