    I tend to use basic black neck gaiters myself. Are they effective at stopping transmission of Covid? I dunno, but they are effective at keeping the Karens off my back as gaiters fulfill the face-covering requirements. Having a socially acceptable excuse to conceal my identity has actually been kinda nice.

    I bought like a six pack of them off Amazon. Just some generic brand IIRC. I usually double it over my nose and mouth when I’m in public, because the material is actually pretty thin. I even bought a couple white ones too for when I want to don my schneetarn and play Simo Häyhä in the woods.

    Avoiding other people as much as possible is actually my most important anti-Covid strategy. So I guess I’ve been preparing for Covid my whole life....

    Yes, they may or may not work. As was mentioned in previous post, the main advantage of concealing your identity is pretty cool, especially with an evil joker or venom gaiter :-)

    I try to avoid most people even before just to keep my sanity

    Minnesota has had a statewide mask mandate since late July, it doesn't appear to have any effect on the spread. My unscientific opinion is that it provides a false sense of security because the effectiveness of neck gaiters, disposable paper and craft show masks that people are using are not comparable to N95 masks. Not to mention, people are pigs.

    Yep. The mask program is silly nonsense. A quality mask could protect, but this charade of cheap chinese and fashion masks is just a way to make stupid people feel safe.

    I think masks have the opposite effect as desired. It seems like a lot of people think that wearing a mask is the only preventative measure required.

    Absolutely Agree. Dumb asses think they're bullet proof and can do anything as long as their chinese mask is in place.

    Do masks work?
    Do mask mandates work?

    Two entirely different questions.
