Does anyone wear these in place of masks? Are they comfortable? I went to Costco yesterday and saw more people wearing them. What do we think of them?


I started to say I haven't seen anyone wearing a facesheild, but I have only been in a handful of stores since this mess started.

 

 

A family member works at ConAgra, and she posted on fb, that they are wearing faceshields and masks and are pretty miserable.

Why, then, do healthcare workers wear BOTH? I've never seen one of them wear a shield without wearing a mask.


Perhaps she's not a healthcare worker...

Sure beats being miserable on a respirator in your throat.

Healthcare workers are totally different, I'm sure you know why. Be well.

Healthcare workers in my area wear face shields without masks when they're just out & about...I've volunteered in hospitals for 11 years so I know many of them. I don't  know about other States but any face covering is acceptable in mine & if you can't wear one for a medical reason you're exempt. Like many others I struggle wearing  a mask & feel for workers who must wear them for 8 -12 hrs a day, even with short breaks it's very difficult. Hey, if you don't want to wear a shield then don't but that's what works for others & me.

Faceshields have not been approved as a replacement to face masks in most places.

I would never trust just a face shield.  I'd worry about the opening at the bottom.  I'll stick with my face masks.
