Some should really check the dates of the articles that they read.
Science changes. Old info can spread misinformation.

Really? I had no clue.
Madison is the place I can't wait to leave the most.Except maybe around Madison, robin
I dunno, I have some older clientele that seem to be in hog heaven thinking that no one can get them sick. lol And then there's the ones that say they'll probably wear one forever. I'll admit that if I actually AM sick and not this, what I call "the only way to make the entire world comply by telling them that they will kill their friends and family" thing. I will wear a mask in future if I have to go somewhere. All because now we won't look like whack-a-doodles wearing them from here on out. It's like China and Japan now. They do it out of politeness when they're sick and the world doesn't stop turning. That's the way we should have been all along IMO. Definitely not, "everybody wear one for years...just in case". The pandemic took away our American vanity. Make-up? What's make-up? lolI tried wearing a KN95 mask a couple of times last month and couldn't take it after an hour...intense headache & nausea, felt like I was going to throw up any minute. Switched to a different mask and it was much better.
After almost a year of mask debates, everybody will be celebrating when we don't have to wear the darn things anymore.
I was kidding. I have tons in all shapes and sizes but they are still laying in my car and in my purse and don't get washed after every single time I use them. If we were doing it correctly, we would put them on, not touch them once they're on, and wash or toss them the minute we took them off. I don't know anyone that puts a fresh one on after they took it off and maybe headed to another store. We all hang them on the mirror or put them in our purse etc...then throw it back on for the next store. Defeats the purpose of them keeping us germ free lolWash or toss daily.
This is my best friend. Her knuckles were red and stinging. I HATE that feeling you described as velcro! Ugh! Especially when you touch a microfiber towel! I had that happen to me in just 3 days on a cruise trying to not get sick. I was sanitizing at every turn until my hands were peeling....I still got sick. I can't IMAGINE the damage of all that sanitizer after a year of this! I rarely use it. I just wash my hands as usual. My hands stay cleaner than most all day anyway from washing hair lol. After all this time and not getting sick, I'm convinced that not over sanitizing the beneficial bacteria away has been key. If you don't believe me...wipe your butt with a anti-bacterial wet ones thinking it's a baby wipe and see what happens.Masks are fine. I wear one all day, even when I'm working around the farm all day as I am in contact with other people. Not fun, but making it work.
It's my dry, cracked, painful hands from the constant washing and hand sanitizer that are driving me insane. My hands feel like sandpaper. For real, I could pick up a towel without use my fingers...like just velcroed to my palm.

Then I misunderstood as well because I thought that the OP posted a picture actually showing the change inside of a mask and you posted that there is never any change between mask and no mask?If that is what you got from my post, then you significantly misinterpreted it.
But the crazy part is alot of people in the Asian countries don't wear them because they are sick its because of air pollution, yes when sick some but not the way the news has tried to tell people.
And yes there are those that claim they will wear them forever, even here on the dis, and ones that want laws made to make them required forever.
I read that as well. It seems it doesn't matter what the CDC says to most people. When they told us that it wasn't typically transferable through surfaces, we backed off the constant sanitizing of surfaces after every single client and went back to normal using microban before and after the work day but you wouldn't believe the people that have a problem with this. They can't grasp the concept that if I have to spray off everything every few minutes, then that defeats the purpose of a 24hour continuously working spray. You get tired trying to explain things to people that have it in their heads that it's one way and one way only.And at this point they have determined that its extremely low risk from catching it from touching stuff. So its really time to go back to the normal use of it and hand wash.
True, that is one good thing. I think from now on people will definitely be more courteous when they are sick and do more to prevent the spread. I can't tell you how many times in my career that I've heard, "I've been so sick but I thought getting my hair done might make me feel better." Makes me soooo mad!!! People only care about themselves and didn't even have a problem telling you that they do! I had to keep masks in my station loooong before this virus just because of inconsiderate jerks. In fact, I have one client who is 100% guaranteed to either be sick herself or someone in her household would have some bug and she would bring it to me. I even go out of my way to ask her if she or anyone is sick because I don't want to get sick too! People are far more aware and seemingly more considerate now. I mean, people won't even cough without explaining it anymore lol.I am a college professor. I can't tell you how many people show up to my classes visibly sick and spewing germs. In the future I will ask my students to NOT come to class if they are ill... and if they do, I will nicely ask them to wear a mask and I will definitely keep disposable masks in my bag for that very reason.
One benefit to my remote teaching this semester.... I have enjoyed not getting sick this winter like I almost always do over semesters with flu or colds.

It is a proven fact that masks do not lower O2 saturation nor do they increase CO2 intake. I deal with this with Covid patients (and other lung-compromised patients) on a daily basis. Their O2 sats do not change at all with their masks on or off. And yes, people with sats that drop into the 50s just from rolling over in bed have no issues wearing a mask.

I'm actually shocked at it being Trader Joes...who by all accounts is all about that peace, love and kindness to your neighbor stuff lolAlot of places around me have slowed down on the constant cleaning, not sure because of the change or laziness. I will say Trader Joes put a sign out saying they are done cleaning the carts and if you wish you may use a wipe to wipe it down, they have the stand with them on it.
