Most transit users “not masked”
QMI went into the metro and estimated that only roughly 35% to 40% of passengers were wearing masks despite official encouragement to do so.

I’ve also heard that some people on buses will have a mask on, but then will actually take it off to eat or to talk on the phone. *sigh*

Yeah or expose the nose because they feel too hot or touch the front of it and yank it in and off and then touch stuff around them. This is stuff I’ve witnessed and I work in a hospital.

I’m watching a debate right now between doctors about whether masks should be mandatory.
The guy arguing that everyone should wear masks started out with ad hominem and strawmen. But even he admits there is scant evidence that wearing a mask is going to stop the spread of this disease.
Stay away from each other and wash your hands. If you can’t do that wear a mask because it may help, but for og’s sake learn how to put one on and take it off without contaminating yourself before doing so.

I’d be ok with masks being highly recommended almost to the point of them being mandatory in some places, but they need to be made widely available. I’ve checked a few sites…they’re sold out. Contacted someone local who’s making them (friend of a friend), no response to my email. Yes, they’re possibly easy to make, but I’m not really good at sewing and stitching. If someone has suggestions for a place/site to buy, I would appreciate any leads.

They’re available at Jean Coutu for 5$. Usually when you enter right beside hand sanitizer.
