And in response to this, an ER doctor on MSNBC yesterday said "You know who's not smiling? Kids with Covid!" 
Fool is tempting fate with his kids' health & their very lives!
Poor kids!
Wth is it with these pukes & masks? 
Even the youngest ones that I saw getting off school buses in my neighborhood. Kids can get used to anything as long as they're supported by their parents, teachers and peers. And some of them had fun with it. I admired the mask of a little girl I met at a gas station checkout since hers had Disney princesses! And we still had breakout cases at schools in the district, but at least our kids were being kept as safe as possible. 
Quoting Dr. Ding on his twitter again.
Although, 1 fashion conscious DUer whose name escapes me said s/he will wear an N-95 or KN-95 & wear a cloth mask over it. 
Creative. I don't care enough to bother. 
Believe it or not, those were the first ones available to me - and I got them at my local gas station/convenience store where I've gone for years. It's run by an Indian couple whom I've always been friendly with and I gave them to my brother and a few friends who were looking for masks. Of course, masks are now available everywhere, including all manner of "fashion" masks, and my Indian friend has suggested one of the "pretty" ones they now carry, but I've stuck with the KN-95s. 
Bought 1 box of 50 3M N-95's & they've kept me alive thus far.
When Dr. Ding began sounding alarms about delta, I bought 2 boxes on Amazon. Glad I did because they're sold out again.
And I bought 2 cannisters of Harbor Freight shop towels, odd as it sounds, as someone had done research on folding those up & stuffing into cloth mask & supposed to work about as well as an N-95 - just in case I run out of the N-95s.
Knowledge is power! 💪
Speaking of which, I should probably stock up on a few more - since (despite all the "openings" being advertised on TV) this is not going to be over anytime soon!
And good for you - and thanks for the suggestion!
