Now that masks are “mandatory” in some locales, I’ve decided that I had not yet arrived at the most efficient to wear. Also, I have decided that a single layer serves the purpose without compromising my oxygen intake any more than necessary, for however long I have to have it on my face.
This version has the advantage of tie-on without the necessity to tie it on, rests on the chest until needed, and, because it is fitted, does not need the constant adjustment of the last version with pleats. No nose wire and easily washed if you have enough to change them out.
Lucky for us, our county commissioners and sheriff have stated that they will not issue fines for not wearing a mask. They will, however, uphold the right of the individual business owners to require masks or not, and consider it trespassing if someone does not comply.
I am planning a trip to the big city to visit my mother, albeit with “social distancing” constraints. I guess I should be glad to see her at all. At 95, who knows how many more visits we have.
