Pathe news 1947.... Or as we used to say twenty years after that "Coughs and sneezes spread diseases - use your handkerchief!" Replace the pocket handkerchief with one cleverly affixed by hooking it on yer lugs and you are at least doing something to keep your lurgy to yourself. As you say, Sir, it really isn't that difficult.
Aesop, you truly have the patience of a saint and it’s clear that you take the HO very seriously. Here at ground zero Bubbasville, I have all but given up trying to explain why or how a surgical mask can mitigate transmission.
I am a Operating Room Nurse (now retired), I wore a surgical mask every day at work for over 15 years, which means I've always known they were and are useless against virus.
Not counting the news outlets or websites along the full range of accuracy and veracity, I follow multiple actual individuals' handwritten blogs. (Bot news aggregators don't thrill me.) Looking them over, many are current serving or former military and a couple are some variation of high-speed low-drag elite forces ninjas. Or just funny as all. Because life without humor is just despair. So in other words, the same folks I trusted in the military not to wet the bed, sh*t themselves, or otherwise run around like headless Nancys, are the same folks I trust on the interwebz, for demonstrating pretty much the same trustworthiness and circumspectly responsible behavior. Color me shocked.
Comments are fully moderated, due to idiots and trolls. Grown up discussion here will appear just as soon as I have the time to push it through. ANONYMOUS UNSIGNED COMMENTS WILL BE AUTO-DELETED WITHOUT MERCY, and the url added to the spam filter, or mercilessly mocked at the bloghost's sole discretion. If you're too chickensh*t to come up with an alias for online purposes, you're not tall enough for this blog. Pick a name, and stick with it, and you're good. Get cute, and you're wasting your time and my electrons, and your masterpiece will never see the light of day. No warning shots will be fired. If you can't maintain decorum and polite behavior, I won't toy with you, I'll squash you. If one of your comments disappears, YOU f**ked up. If all of them do, it's time for you to go. Disagree with the points made, on the merits, and you're good. Go after me personally, or other commenters, and your comment will never see daylight here. My tolerance for skirting the line is at absolute zero, and will remain there. Don't f**k up.

If you are sick and need to go out, the simple surgical mask is still useful to help prevent others from catching what you have, correct?
It just won't help much in protecting you from catching something from someone else who's unmasked or otherwise.

I was in the 80's Navy and I know neither would work for me because I have a full beard.
Sorry Fauci and the rest of your fanbase.
