@mystery-ak "A Secret Service field office tested its local agents on Tuesday to confirm whether any had been infected during the event."
A couple of days ago, I read or saw, and think it was from the CDC, that face guards by themselves are better than the down graded masks people are using.
I have a box of N95 masks and box of face guards. The face guard is clear plastic and covers the face and sides of face area and comes down below your face. The N95s are terribly hot if worn for a few hours. I wore N95 last week to orthopedic surgeon last Wednesday to get shots in my knees. When one goes into that large orthopedic building, (and they do surgery on the second floor of that building), there is a ante room where one goes in on bottom floor where all the doctors are. There are three people and a desk there. Someone takes your temp. and questions are asked, and you must have on a mask.
So, I had on the face guard yesterday to get shots in knees, plus an N95 in my purse in case they would not accept the face guard, but they said nothing. Went inside building, nothing said about face guard and nothing said by the orthopedic surgeon, so a face guard works.
The face guard is extremely light; a lightweight stretchy band is on it and put the band behind your head and you are ready to go. You can speak as normal since nothing is across your mouth. Don't confuse these extremely light weight guards with industrial type, heavy, face guards.
Surely, the secret service had on "good" masks and not the flimsy cloth ones.
