Transparent face shields might actually be nicer to wear than masks, if that's all you needed, because you can still see each other. I saw someone on the street using one once.

Unfortunately, they haven't been studied much, and I've seen a couple reports that face shields alone are not enough and they are best combined with masks.

Still, a face shield alone would probably be better than nothing.

Alone, face shields do little to nothing to protect people from the wearer.
