The Explosive Legacy of the Pandemic Hand Sanitizer Boom

Oh that's daily around here still. Absolutely baffling to me, I could handle wearing a mask when I needed to but you bet your ass I was removing it as soon as I got outside because it's really quite unpleasant.

I've got a neighbor who wears a mask to move his trash can the 20 feet from the inside of his garage to the pavement just outside. He also wears the mask when driving alone in his car.

COVID definitely broke some brains.

Sometimes I wear a mask to keep the sun off my face or if there is a lot of pollen or dust outside.

I wear my respirator to mow the lawn when my allergies are bothering me. Gets some funny looks occasionally.

Just curious to understand how does a mask over your mouth keep the sun off of your face (presumably the eyes)?

Could be to stop sunburn. Hat with brim protects the top half, and keeps it out of the eyes. Mask protects the lower half.

Yep, I wear a hat and a mask. Keeps the sun off of most of my face.

Sometimes I forget the hat or the mask and then I just wear one.
