Face shields make sense in clinical settings, but do they make much sense for casual use? It's hard enough to get people to wear masks.

The Dutch police is now free to use them as spit masks. Unfortunately there are people who like to spit and cough in the faces of the police (and then being charged with weeks in jail).

But I doubt it will work well against coughing because the airflow can just go around it.

LaVision had this great visualisation about the coughing airflow: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kYJvU81DKgk

They make sense if there's a big apple logo on the front.
