MtnMama Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 I've also seen them at Pancho's. You do know they augment but not replace a mask? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 I had read they were ok unless you worked in a hospital or a place around people who had Covid. They actually protect your eye which a mask does not. Not sure what to believe at this point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They actually protect your eye which a mask does not. Not sure what to believe at this point Kyle, does this make sense to you? Q: Can I wear a Face Shield by itself? A: NO. As more businesses open up, we’re aware of reports of employees wearing ONLY Face Shields/Visors for protection (for example many hairdressers in the UK). This approach is NOT recommended. While face shields provide some additional protection to the wearer, especially for the eyes, they should be used as a complement to face masks, not a substitute. This is because masks absorb outbound droplets when we sneeze or cough, while face shields don’t. On the inbound side, smaller aerosol particles can flow around a face shield. Health care workers treating patients with COVID-19 often wear added protective gear, including face shields to protect the eyes, nose and mouth from contamination from respiratory droplets, ALONG with masks or respirators. In an experimental study using a “coughing patient simulator” (gotta love science!), face shields were shown to substantially reduce the short-term exposure of healthcare workers to large infectious aerosol particles, but smaller particles could remain airborne longer and flow around the face shield and were more easily inhaled. Thus, “face shields provide a useful adjunct to respiratory protection for workers caring for patients with respiratory infections. However, they cannot be used as a substitute for respiratory protection when it is needed.” https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/nioshtic-2/20043721.html A recent outbreak investigation at a hotel in Switzerland found that all of the staff who were infected wore plastic face shields, while those who avoided infection wore face masks. “It has been shown that only those employees who had plastic visors were infected. There was not a single infection among employees with a mask.” https://www.thelocal.ch/…/only-those-with-plastic-visors-we… We will continue to monitor and update the science on PPE as it emerges. For now, face shields can be a helpful extra layer of protection during times when close contact cannot be avoided, but should be used TOGETHER with face masks to prevent transmission. **** This is from a Facebook group called “Dear Pandemic.” 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floradude Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 Walmart has them by the pharmacy with the masks. I have not found one I can wear comfortably. If you sneeze or cough the droplets can pour out from the side or bottom which is why you must still wear a mask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanson Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 I wear an N95 mask and I happen to wear glasses because I am near sighted. With both glasses and a mask over both my nose and mouth, I hope that is all I need. I understand why to wear a high quality mask, My question is with a mask, do glasses actually make any difference? I'm guessing that it probably would if someone to sneeze right in front of me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TelsZ4 Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 Last Friday Costco would not let people in wearing just a face shield unless you had a doctors note Saying you could not wear a mask. And I believe it’s the same at Home Depot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your in the usa and are planning to fly.. buy the large clear swim gogles. Better safe then sorry..

That was written back in April. Scientists have learned a lot since then. See Xena's post for more current thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
