[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because the government doesn't give us masks for free like some of those other countries. If you could walk into CVS or Walmart and walk out with a free pack of masks for your entire family every time you bought groceries, I'm sure you'd see a lot more of them.

I like the cloth better better because it seems wasteful to throw the mask away every time you need to take a new one.[/b] [/quote]

[quote]Divers had found what Joffrey Peltier of the organisation described as “Covid waste” – dozens of gloves, masks and bottles of hand sanitiser beneath the waves of the Mediterranean, mixed in with the usual litter of disposable cups and aluminium cans.

The quantities of masks and gloves found were far from enormous, said Peltier. But he worried that the discovery hinted at a new kind of pollution, one set to become ubiquitous after millions around the world turned to single-use plastics to combat the coronavirus. “It’s the promise of pollution to come if nothing is done,” said Peltier.[/quote][/quote]
