Gym masks?  Keep reading gyms are one of the last places people should go.  Guess it makes sense with the breathing and such.

I will be attempting to play tennis in this starting next week.

While this is true, do you consider a civil rights attorney and law professor to be part of the MSM?

you don't need a mask for tennis, assuming it's outside. (but understand wearing one if it's expected)

If you can't play tennis without wearing that mask, skip the tennis.  It'll take you hours to get your vision adequate with how that thing will eff with your lower interior peripherals.

It's doubles in a bubble, five courts doubles played on each one.

Trim, I'll know five minutes into warm-up as to whether I'll be able to stick with it or not. I'm also playing a singles ladder and I won't be wearing a mask for that.

I also didn't mention that I need to take an abundance of caution because DSM is the #8 hot spot in the country because these Iowans haven't taken this seriously at all. It is amazing that the rural state of Iowa has essentially the same numbers as DFW.

yeah that's a good point - when you read about how the meat packing plants just don't give a solitary eff about their immigrant work force it kind of makes sense that the numbers are bad in Iowa

I have one of these. My only mask opinion is when I put it on I think “this is warm, this is nice.”

I read on facebook that they weren't as effective masks but I haven't been able to verify it!

If you're in a small town and not working in some meat packing or other super dense workspace, I imagine you're quite a bit less likely to catch it than someone who routinely commutes to their office job via public transit.

that's a lot of caveats.  Either way, it's not just a dense population problem, which we tried to say back in March when dub was all Liberate Kansas!

I think too much of the mask research is focused on the effectiveness of the mask in protecting the person wearing it. That mask would redirect particles from breathing, speaking, coughing, and sneezing downward, so it would have to be effective at limiting the spread, especially compared to no mask at all. They probably provide no protection to the person wearing them, but that isn't really the point, anyway.

no I meant they were saying they weren't effective at spreading to others compared to surgical masks or homemade cotton ones.
