I bought 3 at the beginning of the shut down and it was the best decision I've made in a while. I fully respect a business' decision to require masks (not the government), but you can't tell me that I have to be wearing medical grade ppe.
The neck gaiter has a larger transmission (110%; see Fig. 3A) than the control trial. We attribute this increase to the neck gaiter dispersing larger droplets into several smaller droplets, therefore increasing the droplet count.
So if someone HAS to wear a mask, I fully recommend a neck gaiter. The best kind of COVID compliance is malicious compliance.
Upvote, because the mask zealots are increasingly hating on this type of mask (neck gaiter).

There was a study from Duke suggesting the neck gaiter is actually worse for transmission than no mask at all.
