Re: Face masks

Since the topic of bell covers was also broached:

As mentioned in earlier "bell cover" posts...I think a very valid scientific question is whether bell covers will actually increase the spread of the virus. Individuals will be touching a (potentially) virus-saturated piece of moist material and then go about touching eyes, doorknobs, cases, cabinets, other people, etc. in very high use situations (rehearsal being let out and students rushing to get to their next class, etc.)

A lack of a good answer to this question is one reason I'm personally against use of bell covers. There's no harm in doing things for optics...unless there is. ;^)>>>

I'd rather not go back to playing than have to jump through meaningless hoops which might do more harm than good - all to create optics/messaging that "we're trying."

The same could be said of masks. The results from the first year of masking (world-wide) are mixed at best. The areas which masked should have fared far better than the areas which didn't - yet that isn't what the data I've seen shows.

Side note: I wonder how many kids will launder the bell covers throughout the course of a semester.
