The thicker better masks just don't let in much fresh air.
You're breathing half fresh and half stale air so less
oxygen. I occasionally will pull mine up off my nose for a
breath or 2 when no one is nearby. Big difference.
 
Again, here's the good one I use:

You can buy thinner masks but they're not as effective.

Let your innocent cold virus be a friendly warning to you.
You just said that you haven't worn a mask yet.
That virus is in your country. Just saw a news thing this
morning about Melbourne lockdown and you might be far from
there but people do travel and the virus with them.
 
Just wear a mask when in a store or anytime around people
other than yourselves. And wash hands after. Those aren't
completely failsafe but it's the best we can do for now.
 
Only thing I've done since March is a grocery store trip
once ever week or two. I won't even trust takeout food as
you never know who's inside making that food. I've known
of many "poor" people that will go to work when feeling
sick just because they don't get sick pay and can't
afford the pay loss.

I have a mask with a filter that can be changed!

The ventilator hole defeats the purpose of keeping your germs inside
and protecting other people from your possible asymptomatic case of
COVID-19.

Since this coronavirus is in the common cold family, it will be regarded as a
common ailment in 2030, or we will all be sickly or dead. So far, it hasn't
been shown to be seasonal. The good news is that diseases that kill are not
very successful in the long run. They adapt to us, so they can live as well.
I googled "common cold" when covid first arrived. You will find
supposition as google's answer. Nobody knows nothin', but supposition is
rampant. The common cold easily could have decimated humanity once upon a
time.
2 cents

What you say is true, although, having read stuff, I think that
getting covid from food is very unlikely. Same with handling
"contaminated" mail packages, for instance. Theoretically possible,
maybe, but very unlikely. When they do "contact tracing", they trace
people the infected person has been around, not people the infected
person has sent mail to.
 
If things get worse in our state, masks will definitely become a good
idea.
 
This is the first time I think it would have been nice to still live
in Tasmania :) If it wasn't for the weather...

Those are known as respirators here. I have one but
don't use it for stores. Mine has a changeable filter
on each side. Each filter has a charcoal packet and a thin
cotton-like dust filter. The mask itself is rubber.
 
They will seriously filter your breath intake but the little
button nose is used for exhaling and doesn't filter at all.
A little rubber gasket only opens when you exhale.
 
Keeps YOU safe from breathing in but doesn't provide any
protection to anyone around you if you are sick.
 
This is similar to mine:

I can't believe those warnings :) Soon you'll see the following
warning when you enter an American shop: "While inside these premises,
don't hold your breath for too long or you may die."

Very true. That little button blows out unfiltered breath from
you.

Are you saying the covid virus is going to evolve into something less
lethal to keep its hosts alive?

Not deliberately. But viruses that are highly contagious and
extremely lethal are comparatively rare. They tend to kill their
host before they can propagate. Viruses will more successfully reproduce
if their host lives longer. Successful reproduction is the entire
point of evolution.

One of the reasons Parmesan is said to goes well with pears is that they both
have a slightly gritty texture.
 
This post mentions pears with Parmesan --- and also with blue cheese which it
likes.

Nice. I had dead chicken piccata last night with rice and
green beans. Just a big glass of ice water, though. I wish
it had occurred to me to make a bucket of iced tea.

Don't let Bruce scare you. Eating dead meat is much more
humane than eating live meat. :)

Why? You wouldn't enjoy chicken piccata? I said it DIDN'T make a
bucket of iced tea. In any event, it was a joke.

I think only people who hate animals, like Lucretia, eat lamb.

It's not logic. They aren't equipped by evolution to recognize the
threat involved.
 
Nor are they equipped to recognize the inherent threat in something
moving 70 mph.

In the absense of vocal tone and body language, that tends to happen

Jebus was puzzled by kangaroos' behaviour. Janet UK tried to explain
said behaviour. I still agreed with Jebus that it was strange
behaviour. But I know that kangaroos and other animals don't always
follow human logic. They also don't cross the road at a pedestrian
crossing.

It would surprise me. Diamonds come from old volcanoes. Oil comes
