[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 3344559, member: 29706"] Yeah it's just like that itch you can't touch if your hands are tied or if you stop what you are doing it's going to be a disaster you don't want to fix. The little fly buzzing past your ear and then landing on your nose or the mosquito buzzing your forehead. Or when you see insects crawling all over someone in a movie scene... Which says to me basically everyone should be wearing masks to stop the spread if you have to be out since you will cut down your spread of and possible chance of catching to nearly zero. The main issue is supply, there just isn't enough out there that is why the places that have figured out a way to sterilize the masks for reuse are going to be a big help. I know it sucks that all this is happening but it will make advances in a lot of other area's as well. The ability to sanitize the masks can be used to sanitize other soft surface materials as well and eventually my guess is that hospitals will eventually have something like what they are using built in for exactly that purpose later on down the road which will help if there is another epidemic that has similar transmission avenues. It's kinda like how a lot of tech advances came out of world war 1 and 2 that we use now. And it happens out of necessity rather than curiosity so a lot more happens because people come at it from different angles, even the failures become useful in some other area too. [/QUOTE]
