Masks Save Lives

[biglentil]

Social distancing and washing our hands are not our only lines of defense for covid-19. If you must go out in public please wear a mask for your safety and the safety of others incase you are infected. Its for the common good. Public spaces become much safer when everyone is wearing a mask. Preferrably N95 dust style masks without the exhale valve. Those types of disposable masks offer the best performance, but in the alternative something is better than nothing. As a people we need to work together to keep the load off the health care system. As farmers we must take extra precautions so we can do what we do best farm. Millions of lives depend on us to get the crop in and raise the livestock. This is no joke and there are no redos this is an emergency. So lead by example and spread the message MASKS SAVE LIVES!

I agree. Outside at the farm I try to position so that any wind does not drift from one towards another.

I am surprised that sales clerks do not mask up. Face-to-face with strangers all day-every day.

The immediate problem is that if used as recommended there are soon not going to be any masks

So it’s also becoming more clear that it’s
Not just the older population that needs to worry.
Everyone that has a mask ought to be using it

Agreed many of us already had some sitting on a shelf or in a box somewhere, they arent doing anyone any favours there. At a minimum front line should include grocery clerks, post office staff and bank staff. Someone needs to tell these people to be wearing masks or our critical infrastructure will break down.

There was an announcement on CNBC yesterday by VP Mike Pence that 3M in one of their Minnesota factories will be ramping up N95 industrial mask production. 3M has N95 industrial masks meet the specs that health care workers.
