1. It is a very hard habit to break

and THE single most important thing about wearing a mask... you won't be able to automatically touch your nose or mouth while wearing the mask.

I really hope they manufacture billions of masks for us all and, yes, I know about the shortage right now and how we shouldn't buy them for fear of taking them out of the hands of our hospital and health care workers.

But when they are available... using them helps with your touching your own face (without making the decision to dig under them to scratch or whatever).

2. Wear a scarf or a bandanna if you don't have a mask.

It won't keep the viruses away but it will keep you from touching your face.

3. yes... that said the best thing about a disposable mask

is that you take it off and toss it before going in your house.

but yes, without masks then a scarf will do.
