It's starting to become a theme that face masks may soon be recommended for all. Got mine from Etsy (before those go way up). My Son works in fast food at Subway...

Good idea.

I have felt, from the beginning of tihs, that everyone should be wearing a mask....for the protection of others and for what even minimal protection it offers the wearer.

I've been wearing masks since the beginning of flu season. I didn't pay those folks any mind about masks not needed when the virus hit.

I was lucky because I stockpiled every time I went inside a CVS or Wallgreen store during flu season.

I'm out & about as needed & to date not symptomatic. Not even a sniffle. So either the masks is working, helping and/or I am a carrier (Typhoid Mary). No testing in my area yet.

It has been reported that most people do not know how to properly put the mask on and that a person touches their face to much when putting it on...

I won't wear one until someone can convince me they do any good. I heard a doctor say wearing anything other than the N95 mask, is like trying to stop a flooding dam with a chain link fence. Compared to bacteria, the holes in fabric are huge.

If I were sick and had to go out, I would consider wearing a mask. But I see no reason to do so if I'm healthy (so far). As others have pointed out, I don't think a mask really helps prevent getting sick. But if it makes you feel better mentally, go for it.

DH and I went to our local hospital yesterday and all nurses had on handmade masks.

I guess If it makes you feel better, it doesn't hurt. As for me I wore a mask every day of my work life in the OR, and I'm in no hurry to wear one again, unless it's considered necessary.

I got out my sewing machine this morning (which I haven’t used in several years) and followed a tutorial on YouTube to make a homemade mask. It came out really good. I forgot how therapeutic sewing is!
