I would hope that as we start to reopen the businesses (at least those that have survived the forced closing) that face masks ( and gloves if applicable) are available for anybody who feels they need it in the workplace.
There's something inconsistent about how the pols and experts have morphed the "mask" issue.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but early on didn't they tell us not to bother to wear masks?

Now it is suggested that we wear them?

Why? What changed?

As I understand it, the ONLY GOOD THING that masks can do is prevent you from giving the virus to someone if you already have it: it will not protect someone who is exposed to it.

Aren't our eyes a vulnerable area and subject to catching the virus?

Shouldn't we wear goggles also?

I like the design pictured below: clever, but is it effective?
