Dr Birx; distancing through the summer

[nightfighter]

Buff, gaiter, mask.... if we are going to be using these for an unknown period of time, we need to figure out what is working best for you and where you are sourcing. Probably should be a separate thread.... anybody?

Me? Bandana is pretty good. Second example; Neighbor dropped off a dozen, mass cut out of t-shirt material with ear slots cut out too. he had ordered 150. Lightweight, easy to breathe through, not so easy to put on. N97 (have two left from sleeve I donated or gave to my MD niece) hard to breathe, as I experienced when using during work, mostly sanding. Marked as mine with date and left in baggie in vehicle. Small dental masks; best I have used, only got three at dentist office where I did a job. elastic on ears was nice, I am reusing and keep in separate baggie in vehicle. Ski masks, with Velcro; Velcro not as good as I had expected, HOT. Have a gaiter/buff on order in white/grey digital camo.
What do you have?

I have tried the N95 which I had in the workshop. Tried the regular cloth one that have the elastic that goes around the ears. I like the bandana best. I wear the bandana only when I am going to be in someplace like Lowes, HD, Walmart. When I get back to the truck I use an antimicrobial spray and spray the front and back of the bandana to kill anything on it and I spray my hands, steering wheel, door handle, etc.
So far, I'm safe but I think Jeanne and I both had this thing in Dec in South Carolina. We were both sick as hell for a week.
