[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have her wear a neck gaither or bandanna.

Face shield if you need more protection.

Do not use neck gaiter or bandana. Bandanas are not very effective and neck gaiters actually disperse the virus more. CDC just issued something saying this.

Try different masks. Just experiment. I am super sensitive to things touching my face and have asthma and have tolerated some masks much better than others. I find surgical mask with a nose clip is easiest for me.[/quote]

Where did CDC say not to wear gaiters? Or are you just referring to that junk study?

Lol. A gaiter is a joke of a "mask".  Namecall the study all you want.

The report about the fact that gaiters are pretty ineffective was done at Duke University, which isn't exactly known for "junk" science. Some headlines overstated the problem, yes. But the study itself wasn't junk, and it found that gaiters and bandanas both are lousy choices and let the wearer exhale particles these materials do not block. They're useless and give wearers a false sense of security that puts others at risk. [/quote]
