    Really would hate for this place to fold. I'm on 6 or 7 other mc forums and they are all very active.. trip reports, bike builds, vendors, tech info, mods, custom stuff, I even make VFR parts for sale. 

    The politics are killing the forum... IMO.

    It's that "herd mentality".  You are right in that the Government is lying to people about Covid as tRump is the #1 Government man.  If you live in Germany it's not as bad as it is here. If tRump would taken leadership & followed a plan similar to Merkel's we would be looking at 60,000 deaths instead of 200,000. Not using "alternative facts here".

    People don't follow the basic rules now, do you really think Americans would follow more rules? I don't, I think people would push back and there would be protest against more restrictions.

    If we would follow basic rules we would not be in the mess we are. My grandparents taught me to wash my hands and cover my mouth when I sneeze or cough... I never stopped doing this.

    just so we're not losing context here, the "100% sealing mask" was brought up because i was pointing out that widely available masks do not seal 100% which is why we have distancing guidelines, which should not be difficult to grasp but apparently was for "it's a jeep thing" guy.  so if you're about to show me some very expensive, specialized, not available to the general public mask, then you are missing the point of the discussion.  that all said, please show me these masks that i could have been using this whole time that is 100% sealing.

    Again, they MUST be donned correctly and OSHA REQUIRES a medical exam PRIOR to use in the business sector. You MUST complete training and a fit test annually as well. They are NOT meant for "airbourne diseases". What you are filtering matters.

    So, to his point they do exist. But so does bunker gear and level A hazmat suits.

    To your point, they are not meant for the general public just because you can buy them. It is extremely dangerous to use them if not worn correctly, trained or have a medical evaluation allowing the use.

    I prefer cotton mask in public because I can wash them and it is enough for what I am doing in public. Other wise I use the required type at work for the hazards I am working with per OSHA.

     

    When making sammiches I use a quality food grade.

    When I am on a face...  Wait wrong thread.

    So as an EHS specialist in will add the following:

    Mask - depends on the income but yes there are mask that do seal 100% to your face when don correctly. However, a medical evaluation is required in the business sector prior to use per OSHA (there are cases where people fail the evaluation and are NOT permitted to wear them for health reasons). Mask do have a life span, cloth face coverings are not "mask" defined by OSHA.

    The fibers you can breath in from disposable paper mask (wearing past life span or incorrectly) could be harmful (need more research). 

    In certain industries and environments mask can cause a hazard (heat, welding, electric, food, machining) if the wrong kind is used.

    In general public areas where no other physical hazards are present: face coverings can help prevent spit from landing in your mouth from others. Try spotting into someone's mouth when you are wearing a mask.

    This is the and of my .02
