I have worn one for about 30 minutes and I wanted to rip it off and run screaming.

There is a small fraction of the populace who could even be marginally functional in one. And they would be the fraction that is least susceptible to the virus anyways

This is not rocket science. The way out of this starts with widespread testing.

Unfortunately, widespread tests would reveal the abysmal failure of this administration, so it won't happen at a federal level.
