Maybe Another mask mandate on which ones WE can wear and ones we can't, (bandanas and some others) I saw this on the news tonight and decided to share it with you all and see what you all think. I have several articles below, and 4 links (personally its expensive to buy the ones we just throw away (and most are from China) especially for families and with kids, now some if not all may have you buy only certain ones, IF we don't buy/wear certain ones; some places may take the mask mandate to another step; IF you don't have this mask you can't come in.

((Gray News) – They come in so many styles, materials and designs.
A new study from researchers at Duke University tackles which masks work and which don’t.
Which materials make good masks, which don't CNN Masks of cotton fabric, especially densely woven, work better than fleece, bandanas, or gaiters, say researchers who tested how droplets get through.

The researchers tested 14 different types of masks, everything from N95 surgical masks to gaiters. Gaiters are the stretchy bands of fabric that go around the neck but can be pulled up over the nose.
Blue Devil researchers created a simple technique to analyze the effectiveness of various types of masks.
N95 surgical masks rated the best, letting through few or any droplets, study says. These masks are typically reserved for frontline healthcare workers.
The standard light blue surgical masks that many of us can buy at stores, also worked well, researchers said.)
