    Oh, it does. There are a variety of respirators that integrate with eye protection, and some that run all air through a filter and then into the mask.

    Breathing through an N100 filter can be difficult.

    I wish we had used this country's productive capacity to get good PPE in folks' hands so they can put it on the squash an outbreak. We don't want to start subtracting from the economy again--do we?

    So basically tyranny granted by the federal government, got it. There a re few times in history where civil disobedience—no violence attached, is necessary. What I suggest is removal of the mask, or at bare minimum resting against the chin upon entering a store. Bus drivers and store managers cannot stop fond of people from doing it if they do it in unison. I do it all the time, and I’m willing to admit it openly to prove someone has guts to stand up to their government.

    Notice how it’s always the rebels that go down in history, not the conforming sheep. Next time you go in Walmart, I dare anyone to lower or remove or pull down the mask. No, you’re likely not to infect anyone. The only thing that needs to be spread is this act of peaceful protest. Civil disobedience, as history has shown, is what keeps governments in check.

    Ifvtoubl wish to keep your head in the sand, hear, speak or see no evil, that’s up to you. But for a silent majority that feel their state’s are taking them hostage, this is a war.

    The only pro that can come from long term consequences is it allows for research on how to combat symptoms as a result of Covid.

    You're misrepresenting the risk. All things considered, including "millions of mask wearers collecting covid in the chamber of their masks," wearing masks save lives.

    I was out getting new lenses for my glasses today in British Columbia (5m people). The mall was fairly busy and few people were wearing masks. Why not? Because this is the situation in BC...

    My wife and I are staying in BC instead of Oregon because we're relatively safe here. BC is largely open for business and has never had a stay-at-home order. I keep mentioning BC because I would like us to do what they've done.

    You don't have legal rights you think you do.
    If it was my store, I'd escort you out the door.
    I'd grab as many of you as possible and haul you off to jail.
    Over having to wear a mask? Really?
    Over a damn having to wear a mask?

    Trump is responsible for a lot of the deaths.

    Coronavirus Worldometer has just revised its November forecast to 293,000 dead.

    At the current rate of progress, the virus will have killed more Americans in a year than World War II.

    Trump has failed to provide leadership on getting the virus under control.

    Coronavirus Worldometer has again changed its forecast for the number of deaths by November 1st: 250,000 deaths.

    The site does not anticipate a flattening of the curve for the number of deaths per day by December 1.

    1870 death/day....

    At the current rate of progress, COVID will have killed more Americans in 18 months than WW2 in five years.

    Not just surgeons :roll:

    please get your medical information from somewhere more reliable than old reruns of “general hospital”
