COVID-19 Outbreak (Update: More than 2.9M cases and 132,313 deaths in US)

I'm not trying to be argumentative, but who on this forum has worn a mask for more than 2 hours at a time? I do it on a regular basis, and it's a miserable existence. I do it because I come into contact with sick people and I don't want to bring something home with me. But boys, I'm not sure it is practical to ask people wear PPE for a 10-hour work day. I think that is a very reasonable request in short bursts, such as going to a sporting event, going to the grocery store, going to the restaurant. I also have very little confidence that the average person can wear PPE that long without touching the outside of their evil PPE and completely defeating the purpose of the PPE in the first place.

I think that at some point we are just going to have to send the kids back to school...ready or not. And it'll have to be without PPE. They will be little carrier monkeys, and we will have to try to keep them away from immunocompromised or elderly. Kids that are immunocompromised will have to be home schooled. It's unfortunate, but it's time to put forward realistic strategies.
My office requires masks while in the office. We can take it off at our cubes, but if we walk around, we have to have one on. Only like two people aren't really doing it, and they're the big bosses. Even then, when they go to some areas, they pop on a mask.

I've seen people get up without them and realize the mistake and run back, almost like a kitten. haha.

p.s. yes, my nose hurts, depending on the mask. it is miserable, but I've been through worse. Also, the cloth ones, depending on how they're made can be more comfortable. Won't offer the same protection. I wouldn't wear an N95 or respirator all day, as those are too tight. A surgical mask, I could wear all day. I've actually enjoyed those, since they breath well and aren't too tight. I also have an "ear saver" if I need to switch it up.

If you touch your mask, it's not game over, so long as you wash your hands regularly. Heck, I still over wash.
