    NOW the CDC wants us all to wear masks to cover our noses and mouths to prevent the spread of COVID-19! This pisses me off bigtime!

    What gets me is the arsehat politicians, bureaucrats and medical experts (medical personnel including many, many, many doctors) told us that wearing masks was only, I repeat only, a good idea for medical and first responder personnel. Those fuckers wanted the masks only for themselves (then many medical personnel were reported to be stealing them) and in their short sighted selfishness they often stated that if not for them no one would get medical attention thus the reason they needed them. While that may be true once a virus spread throughout the population, I say it was bullshit at the time they said they were the only ones who masks would help. Had the virus not spread as much as it did as rapidly as it did - then it would have been likely we would not have needed all of that medical attention in the first place. Wearing masks may well have prevented the spread - not so much that it would prevent you from catching it but that it would prevent those who had it from spreading it. In fact now they are actually demanding, in some places, that is that everyone wear one.
    The thing is, and this has been known for years but practiced usually only by Asian cultures, that wearing a mask helps to prevent you from spreading an airborne contagion if you have it in your respiratory system. You talk, cough, sneeze and whatever comes out of you gets stuck in the mask you are wearing. So, had people been told to wear these all along, the infection rate likely would have been cut dramatically. Now - that it is all over the country and ravaging large urban areas where folks are crammed together (NYC population as of 2018 was estimated to be: 8,398,748 - source) they want everybody to wear them but its kind of late for that or I think.

    Anyway, where the heck are people supposed to get them? They are now saying use bandanas, paper towels, t-shirts - the next thing you know they will tell you to wear a plastic bag over your head. These fools really need to be booted out of power once this is under control and I mean as in a purge of at least 90% if not more of them. Yet, you can bet - once this is over they will be pounding their chests telling you what great things they did and between poundings they will be pointing their fingers trying to blame the other guy for screwing up. Sadly - we probably will accept it as status quo as we go back to work wearing the inevitable I Survived The Corona Virus 2020 or some other stupid shit.

    The Media and Government has spent the last few weeks scaring the crap out of everyone so we’d readily give up our rights, careers and businesses.

    Now they’re going to have to instill confidence to get people to go back out and start generating tax dollars.

    I think the new mask recommendations have more to do with making people comfortable to leave the house again than actually preventing disease.

    CPAP mask, then stick the hose in your underware for filtering. Just remember not to fart.

    I’ll get an out of service SCBA mask and pack to wear.
    Then I’ll have the Darth Vader regulator breathing sounds... I might be able to convert one of my scuba tanks to feed an SCBA mask. Then all I need is a painters tyvek getup and some tape to complete the ensemble.

    Screw it, I am just going to wear my motorcycle helmet everywhere.

    We have lots of bandanas as we use them as handkerchiefs.

    Like that helmet! I have a coworker who said his neighbor in Scurry has a confirmed positive test result. It is out in the country, so there is plenty distance between them. My coworker also thinks he may have had it as he feels like the symptoms he had may have been the virus, so he has kept self quarantined.

    Out here by the lake!
    People are learning to search Amazon for "balaclava" and "neck gaiter".

    I found one I like that was shown as in stock for $2.98. Expedited shipping to get it in under a week was $35.99.

    Lots of versions are available with delivery dates in June.

    If I feel a need for a mask, I'll make do with the box of cheap ones I've had for 10 years.
    I always wanted a Nomex balaclava. I figure my big fat ass in bib overalls & a black balaclava is a fashion statement ready to be made.
