I am confused also about the mask... it does not protect your eyes and if you are in the presence of " droplets" in the air... the droplets will enter through your eyes even if you have a mask.

Unless you are sick, I don't see the point of the general public wearing a mask.

We have medical masks. We've had them for years. I do't know where my husband got them. So far, we only went to the supermarket two weeks ago. We are planning to go on Monday. I've seen people wearing them. They are common in China (for pollution)

And, from some stuff I read, it can get to your throat by going into your ears.

I was listening to the doctors on t.v and thought I heard wearing masks were for those infected and it doesn't do much if anything if you are not infected.
On the other hand my husband works in the medical field and they are having a hard time getting mask to take care of patients which are all elderly.

What about washing your hair? When you shower you need to wash your hair too, after being out. "Droplets" can end up there. Right?

I am immunocompromised and my doctor said it is only for people who are ill
What I heard that makes the most sense (from a front line NYC hospital doc) is that wearing a mask won’t prevent us from getting the virus but it will remind us not to touch our faces so it is good to wear one when out. He explained that most people get the virus by touching their face with unclean hands. He said we should really be washing our hands a lot.
He also said the kind of mask to use is one of the regular ones or a homemade one.
