Face Shields

Great news for all the people who can't wear a cloth face covering for medical reasons, or for fake medical reasons, or because they think they'll asphyxiate, or because they think it makes them a Muslim (?), or because they think it makes them a sheep, or because they think it's one step before Bill Gates implants his Microsoft tracking chips into them, etc, etc...

Clear plastic face shields, which have been used by medical professionals before and throughout this pandemic, may be just as good an option to help protect others from your droplets! You can even double up and wear a cloth mask under your shield. If you can't wear a mask on your face for medical reasons, they recommend wearing a shield with cloth covering the gap at the bottom. They also have the benefit of keeping your mouth visible, for people who need to read lips. Plus, they're washable and reusable, unlike the disposable masks (and even cloth ones) we're seeing discarded all over.
