Not only are layers important but different kinds of materials should be used. I finally settled on surgical masks with inserts that allow me to mold them around my nose, but not all surgical masks are equally effective.<br /><br />I'm very happy you've been posting again, but it also seems strange because I didn't know what had happened to you, and so as the months--and then the years--passed, I got to wondering if you were even alive, and so when I heard<br /><br />Millie, how can it be that "Jewish temples and Muslim mosques are not a problem"? Sometimes, pre-Covid, I attended services at a local synagogue, and people there were no more spread out than they would be in a church, so I don't understand why synagogues would be safer than churches. I do recall that a couple of Hasidim funerals in NYC were labeled "super spreader" events, and that a number of rabbis and imams have died of Covid.Snowbrushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436087215476479042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36879565.post-8421694122149579562020-09-18T08:43:48.219-07:002020-09-18T08:43:48.219-07:00I admire your governor so much!

I'm fortun...I couldn't have said it better. I'm fortunate to live in a state (NY) that has a governor who took this seriously and where I live the numbers are way down. I'm not letting my guard down though because there, of course, have been problems with people not following the rules lately with churches becoming spreaders of Covid (interestingly enough Jewish temples and Muslim mosques are not a problem) and numerous college students ignoring the rules as well.<br /><br />In my area the mask wearing compliance is very good when you are in a store, but we rarely see anyone with a mask when we go to parks with lots of people around. Sadly we will be stuck with this mess at least until January 20th at the earliest, but more likely until an effective vaccine can be distributed.<br /><br />Thanks for articulating so well on how things should have been. We can only hope things will get better after the election. Millie and Walterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15880442203258355043noreply@blogger.com
