[TheForge] Another stupid mask idea -- no metal content

[Bruce .]

Oh no!  Not your BEARD!  How's anybody gonna tell you from ... a
*girl!?  *(Yeah,
right.)

Nope, my previous post wasn't meant as a joke.  I actually think the wax
idea might work. But I'm not in a rush to test it myself -- no need.

And I disagree about masks not protecting us. Stand in front of a mirror or
glass and cough or sneeze.  Now look at the pattern of droplets on the
glass.  I just read an article suggesting those droplets can travel 20
feet.  *That's* what I'm trying to stop from getting in my face, with my
face shield and mask.

Others can do what they want, but I'm going to protect myself (mostly by
self isolation, but I do gotta buy food and medicines from time to time).
NJ has a high infection rate, equal to NYC, and any number of people who
seem to think that God will protect them:  Three weddings or parties broken
up by police and six rabbis dead in the past week or so in Lakewood, NJ,
which has one of the highest infection rates in the area.  (I always used
to think Jews were smart -- my father certainly was.  My paternal
grandparents were Jewish.)  Non-Jews are also being stupid, as witnessed by
a party being broken up in Ewing (near Trenton) about a week back.  This is
equal opportunity stupidity.

BTW, congrats to your Governor.  He's one of the few Republican governors
to take COVID-19 seriously, and apparently he did an exceptional job of it
and could be a model for all the other Governors of either party.  I just
hope it's not too little and too late for everybody else.

Hang in there,

Bruce
