The mask will keep it from getting into your lungs. it doesn't attack the eyes. Ever hear of eyes being damaged?

nope. hair?

nope. I change clothes, and used to take showers to make sure. The danger is letting it into your lungs.

and the virus doesn't exist in air by itself. In air, it has been coughed or sneezed out. The size of water droplets containing the virus is far, far larger than the 10-80 nm. Protect your lungs. that is what it hits.

I get "Page can't be found"  from your links.

But then what's the big deal about washing hands and disinfecting stuff.  It sounds as though the virus is harmful when it is airborne. Do people smell their fingers? Breathe in doorknobs? LOL

But I did find something about the eyes.

Wrong WSS.  N95 will stop you from getting infected in worn correctly.  Goggles are also a good idea.  Washing your hands also.  If it gets on your hair as long as you don't touch your face after touching your hair your okay.  

@calfoxwc said:

no - not true. a good fitting n95 mask will stop droplets in the air. That stops you from inhaling the droplets.

sorry you're wrong. It might keep you from breathing it in but it won't keep it from getting in your eyes your hands your cheeks your ears or your hair. The Masks are meant to keep people who are already infected from blowing out infected droplets. And by the way the n95 isn't any better at stopping droplets that a bad data. It has a higher filter rate that would be better for keeping virus out.

it's the lining of the lungs that get the virus attacked to it. and I can't hold my breath that long. Although, back in my air force days, I could swim the entire length of an olympic sized pool underwater. Or course, I was an excellent swimmer and was much younger then.

I was actually asked to take over and teach life-saving classes at the base - but I was a short timer, and they found somebody else.

@westside-steve said:

Oh well. Think of it this way your funeral will be huge. Had all of us wearing brown and orange. Virtual of course. 

And your plumbing will be in working order. For the week I mean.

Of course you do understand that masks does nothing to keep you from Catching the virus anyway right?

well, when you need a certain plumbing fitting to adapt from a plumber 2" to a 3", but I don't get the measurements of plumbing sizes, because the interior dimension of the 3? is 3 1/4 "..... I can't order that. lol

Fair enough I didn't think so. But that wasn't my point. Just saying that anybody who's worried can certainly order stuff delivered to the curb or to the home.

I do. Some employees do. Whatchutalkinbout, Willis?

for the most part, maybe. But I went to the hardware store, and they don't have carry-out, so....

But perhaps that the unmasked ones would only spread the disease and bring it into contact with the old folks anyway.

Another problem is how to enforce it.

Like somebody who is 40 with asthma or diabetes.
