I'm supposed to wear an N95 at work now and I think it's bull crap. It makes me feel hot and like I'm not getting enough air through my nose. I had zero issues with wearing a level 3 all day long.

A regular mask would be fine. But I'd lose my **** with an N95 on all the time. That's a whole different ballgame

I have to wear one most of the day, all my working life since I am a dentist. You get used to it eventually and don't even think about it. But agree 100% if you're not in a common area or you'll be more than 6-8 ft apart you absolutely shouldn't have to wear one. That's crazy. Or at least it should be a light cloth one.

Where do you work? That's crazy, we can't even find them to treat patients. You can't wear N95 for too long, that's insane they expect y'all to wear them throughout the day.

Texas wants dentists to wear them while treating patients and that is what we do all day long.

According to F16, wearing a mask is unpatriotic. While I disagree with government mandates, not wearing one just to protest and fight the man is ridiculous. Masks are the vehicle up open everything back up. Protects companies from being sued and gives the public a sense (false?) of security.

In Guatemala we are required to wear masks any time we leave our home. It took about a week or so to get used to it, but now I'm fine with it. I bought 7 of some rewashable types and just use a different one every day. On Sundays I wash them all and start again. I know we aren't used to wearing masks in this part of the world, but it really can make a big difference is everyone would get on board.
