Was wondering what everyone is doing for covid-19 as far as protection mask or face shield? As for Me I wear a mask but I can breathe with it on. What is everyone else doing with the issue? Or if you have other recommendations would love to hear.

Just a mask for me to, although the warmth of it makes my nose run!

This was recently a research question for the PCD and Covid study, which you can see the results of by following any of our social media!

I have spoken to a few doctors about this and masks really are better than the visors. The current advice is try to experiment with different types of mask and practice wearing one for short periods to try to get used to them. It's very important not to let the masks get too damp and to change them very regularly, so we don't get extra bugs in our lungs!

Not what you're looking for?
