Greetings, my name is Mark Becker and I am an Inventor. I have invented a PPE item and thus spent 50 plus hours researching information directly from the CDC website and other EXPERTS regarding the transmission of Covid. So please take the following seriously!! It’s CLEAR by now that larger “respiratory droplets ” is BY FAR the biggest risk of transmission.

STOP pushing information that harms the **** public!! We need to STOP giving the impression that face shields are a less effective option! Many of them ARE NOT!! By doing so, we are inadvertently providing a disservice to people’s safety! People hate masks and are constantly seeking ways to avoid using them properly, in trade for their comfort. I am on the road a lot for my primary career and witness it multiple times a day! Masks so loose that they’re constantly falling off of noses, and gaps so big you could drive a truck through! Please view the small example of the testing I personally performed in the following video link and PLEASE start PROMOTING “face shields” as an alternate to masks!! Otherwise you are forcing people to seek methods that effectively make matters worse, such as wearing masks below their noses! Face Shields keep the user’s breath spray MUCH closer to the user than bandanas (commonly worn) as well as many types of masks. I realize it’s unintentional, but that’s the ultimate outcome!
We also need to get businesses back open, and based on my studies in addition to my own extensive testing, this is very doable in a safe manner. With restaurants and other public establishments, we simply need to keep people from facing each other when no PPE is worn, in addition to making ceiling or box fans mandatory (in effort to dilute any aerosol transmission potential). Simply require restaurants & establishments to have people stand or sit on one side of tables only, so patrons are staring at someone else’s back. Plexiglas dividers between them could also easily be used, and simply make it CRYSTAL CLEAR not to face anyone directly anytime PPE isn’t worn.
