well I don`t really know enough about that sort of thing to say in all honesty, but I would Imagine/Guess that a glove would be probably safer since a hand may have soap residue on it still and our own microbes would probably give it a hard time too.
but those are the rules, we all have to wear gloves at the funeral as well as masks, which is going to get really messy if people start crying and want to blow noses etc...
Wrestled with the pooch and after 5mins finally got it on her muzzle
..turned my back to get camera.. :shrug:

From the esteemed idleprocess:
"Better filter media is better filter media, which mostly matters for occupational exposure. But if using something perceived to be better than 2 layers of cloth (not used at the expense of medical workers, emergency responders, others facing occupational exposure) is what it takes for someone to wear a mask, why not?"
The vape video clearly shows how most exhalation goes around, not through the mask. Adding more layers, whatever the quality or permeability, will further impede exhalation by the wearer through these homespun public-use masks. So yes, (boastfully) crowing about that kind of mask-belief may help others buy into that con.
And now that the main viral shutdown thread here on cpf has resumed I will endeavor to not continue this line of opinion here, on the fixer's thread.

I don't wear masks. Yesterday I went to Lowes, Home Depot, Target, a gardening store, and a carpeting store. The workers at Home Depot don't wear them in the garden center. People don't wear them at the smaller self owned stores like the gardening store or the carpeting store, but they have one handy in case someone is wearing one when they come in to make them feel better. I am going to work at the office (attorney) in a few hours to do some paperwork for some people, we never wear masks. We always shake hands. We go about our lives and all those stores I mentioned never have even asked me to wear a mask.
The latest crap they are feeding us I saw 3 days ago....except it was finally true. Wearing masks long periods will give you upper respiratory illnesses (like wearing a cpap) and also mask mouth (similar to meth mouth but from your mask drying out your mouth and rotting your teeth).
So even though it is mandated in my county to wear one, when I pass another no mask wearing person we smile, knowing the truth about the entire control the population issue and walk on by. My best friend has Covid and she has not left her house in weeks. We're all going to get Covid. it's just when.

Having trouble remembering to carry a face cover when you leave home?
Tie a 6-8" (30-40cm) string to the ear straps and wear as usual when needed.
When not required it's easy to carry.

If I was a Walmart manager, I'd instruct the greeters to ask - "Good morning. Did you forget your mask?" After posing that question, the greeter's responsibility is complete.
It should not be the responsibility of the greeters to request that customers abide by the state's/store's mask policy. That task should fall to someone much further up the store's pay scale.

Re: Coronavirus - II
I'm noticing the words "dust mask" on a lot of packaging lately. Then the obligitory fine print "does not prevent spread of disease" or similar.
At my local Food Lion they have a (Mrs Fixer term) mask nazi assigned at the entrance. I call them "the hall monitor" or "safety patrol" my grade school days. And they do offer a "dental mask" type face cover to those without one. Most come prepared. My twin brother was in the store while I was. He dresses like Darth Indiana Jones. Darth Vader gater, big ole black NRA shades and a black Indiana Jones hat. He says he likes going into stores now for the privacy. But he also wears safety yellow reflective clothing so he kinda stands out really.

Months ago, Dr Campbell of youtube fame spoke of it being a good idea to keep one's hair short, and or wearing a hat.
Corona, can adhere to hair.
Also the use of goggles, or at least eye-glasses, may also be helpful/protective to oneself to reduce the chance of becoming infected by way of the eyes.
Yeah... the obligatory fine print is everywhere... "Don't climb on this ladder after consuming alcohol... warning falling hazard!"
I wonder if our UK friends see as much fine print "cover your a$$" as we see over here in the US.
Their laws make for fewer frivolous lawsuits than ours.

Re: Coronavirus - II
The face masks being marketed to the general public can perhaps aspire to level C and would not be appropriate for anything approaching occupational exposure. Thus, one imagines the lawyers are suggesting it's best to disclose to the buyer that there are no guarantees that some mediocre dust/surgical/{VagueSomething}95 mask doesn't meet any real standards.
