Good article however let me add as a safety professional for over 35 years, the mask mandate goes against any OSHA regulation and NIOSH recommendation. Most people do not wear or handle masks properly. they have not received proper training on how to properly wear a mask.

Most people wear masks that don’t offer the proper protection because the mask they are wearing is more about style than protection or the fact that they have been wearing the same mask for 60 days and have never washed it.

The big kicker is when people fail to practice good hygiene then they handle their masks with their dirty hands. People, please wash your hands frequently!

I strongly recommend an N95 respirator, yes, it’s a disposable respirator as opposed to a cloth mask which is fooling all who think it is the barrier that will save them. If you can find the N95 in this crazy world we live in then buy a box and wear them if you are immunocompromised, obese, or elderly.

I believe in the vaccines and have been vaccinated however I am not going to or have the right to force anyone to do what they don’t want to do.

You just can’t say to people you have to wear a mask and walk away.
