I'm not about to buy surgical masks, even if they are available, when I've plenty of the above.isn't it illegal to walk around like that?
I understand that, but when we are outside, maintaining our space, I don't get the mask thing. Of course this aint Hong Kong or New York City. We have fewer people in our entire county than we had in 1911. We also have 3 confirmed cases in the county.The mask is not to protect you from others, it is to protect others from you!
The concern is that many people have the virus but remain asymptomatic. By wearing a mask those people reduce the risk of transmitting the virus to others.
This is an area where education has been poor. My fear is that people will wear masks and gloves and gain a false sense of security. They may actually increase their risk overall.
Cant stress enough that the single greatest thing we can do to reduce risk of infection is keeping our hands washed. Mine are dry and chapped as hell right now.
