Good idea,some Americans dont even believe Cvirus is dangerous and dont bother wearin protective face mask,

When in fact one can have it without showin any symptoms for two weeks while spreadin it infecting other people.

Better be safe then sorry

Just curious... you know that wearing non surgical masks to prevent the spread of a virus is about as effective as chain link fence prevent the spread of mosquitos, right? In fact, studies have shown that masks that are saturated from breathing are actually MORE likely to harbor the virus because of the humid warm environment on the mask? Don't forget that most people that have N95 masks aren't wearing them correctly, thus making them far less effective. Lets not even get into the fact that people are constantly touching the mask and their faces, thus increasing the opportunity for virus to spread.

The overwhelming majority of people that are wearing masks have a very false sense of confidence in the ability of the mask to protect them, and are actually more likely to contract or spread the virus. The CDC states that an exposure is an extended period of time (5-10 minutes) in close contact with a known carrier. Someone coughing and your mask holding that virus is much more likely to spread the disease to you, than me not being near people and not congregating for an extended period of time.

But hey, whatever makes you feel better, right?
