Re: Corona Virus

Most of the people I have seen wearing proper masks have been older people.

I have seen women with their cowl neck of their jumper pulled up as an impromptu mask...and a few younger chaps wearing bandanas as masks.
They might think that this will protect them but I have my doubts.

What people forget is that if someone has coughed or sneezed the virus can remain airborne for something like three hours....and you can absorb it through contact with the eyes....so you need to protect not just your nose and mouth but your eyes as well.
