@eddiewatersjr Good. good. Plenty of time.

@clcazer And it looks like this is the direction being recommended - though I still find it strange that the message is still inconsistent - "Everyone should wear - but only if you're in a high activity area" - leaves it open to interpretation. Only really works if everyone does it.

[Michael Dun @MichaelDThinks]

This supports (does not prove) what I've believed about non-N95 mask use (i.e. cloth masks) - that they work best if YOU are ill to protect others. Good read, all around.

@clcazer And I'm on board with this - and it's MUCH simpler to explain the rule. Everyone does it. Because. Because I'm your mother. And I said so.

[Michael Dun @MichaelDThinks]

@clcazer In the end, I think you and I found many of the same reports, through different channels perhaps. Thanks so much for starting this!

[Michael Dun @MichaelDThinks]

@clcazer Still, the goodwill behind the creation and use of homemade cloth masks is something I AM optimistic about - because it shows people are thinking of others and wanting to help - I'm hoping for a sea change that this lasts past the acute phase of the pandemic!

[Michael Dun @MichaelDThinks]

@clcazer As a non-healthcare worker, but having spent days in ICU settings wearing surgical masks and experiencing their discomfort, loose fit and how quickly they become damp and less effective, it's a pessimistic thought, I know.

@clcazer The most recent items I'd found are these, though my takeaway is that most studies didn't tackle that question head on. I think there is some theoretical extension to make for some of these potentially correlative studies, however. The level of science varies widely on these...

[Michael Dun @MichaelDThinks]

Even as more states enact "shelter in place", #schoolnutrition is appropriately viewed as Essential. I know a lot of people in @qcusd are talking about how nice it is to have the lunches, and how well the district is handling it! #stayhome https://t.co/OfSlAlVWlL

[Michael Dun @MichaelDThinks]

The @USDA has done a great job of quickly adapting, addressing and sharing the waivers needed by schools to accommodate the need to feed kids! Effective and efficient webinar, y'all. #serviceminded #stayhealthy #stayathome https://t.co/AmPC0B17aw
