Shield Masks

Jordan2 · ‎03-16-2010

I have seen people wearing shield masks, it's like a visor they wear around their head with the shield in front of their face. Now they don't wear a face masks along with it, just the shield. Do you think the shield offers enough protection, it just seems to me germs can leak out from underneath the shield?

I do not think it provides enough protection alone without a mask

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

I have read that worn alone without a mask, they do not provide adequate protection.

You are correct. The shield protects the person wearing it but doesn't protect other people from the wearer.

No.

Do the math.

I have a shield that I do not wear. The plastic is foggy so I can't see clearly and not particularly comfortable. I bought it on the recommendation of a poster here.

They do NOT take the place of mask on an airplane which is one of the reasons I purchased it.

No, in fact my office has outlawed wearing face shields.

I bought a shield that is attached to something that looks a bit of glasses frame. I bought it to wear as a pollworker but kept my face mask on all the time. Very comfortable and have worn my sunglasses underneath, prescription, and forget I have it on. My husband wears his with mask when out shopping and has found it very comfortable.

We wouldn't wear it without the mask
