Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Neck Gaiters

 Research suggests that neck gaiters might not be effective at stopping coronavirus transmission. All the study actually did was look at the ability of a mask to stop the expulsion of airborne moisture. There is some evidence that smaller droplets are less contagious, and the neck gaiters may make the droplets expelled from someone's mouth smaller.

But basically, get the two-ply surgical mask or cloth ones.
