Do you give people a bit of extra space when they're heavily masked up, like more than 2 metres?

I tend to think might be scared of people's germs, and they might be immune compromised, so I do.

This is not about being judgmental. It's about being considerate.

@Peaceful Some people are wearing 2 layers of masks to the grocery store. I wonder how they can breathe.

It will be so good when this awful pandemic has died down.

@purplepen that is so unhealthy. Way to further compromise the immune system. 😔

The nih has an article that states it's beneficial to wear multiple masks when n95 masks are unavailable because the multiple layers prevent particles better than a single layer. @purplepen @Peaceful

@SW-User OK. I tend to give them extra space too.

@purplepen that's the best way

@Peaceful For me it would be impossible. For others it might be safer.

@SW-User I'm not afraid of the virus. And I'm a super fan of getting enough oxygen into my lungs to keep my immune system healthier. If I could get away with not wearing any mask? I wouldn't.

@Peaceful There are also face shields. I have one in case of emergency.

@purplepen yeah, I'm not afraid. I get plenty of natural vitamin D a day, exercise and I eat lots of fresh veggies.
