[Libs-Or] face shields

[Nelson, Julie]

All of this reminds me of an SRA article I read back in the sixth grade.  I
loved those science facts.  It said a sneeze can linger in the air for
30-45 minutes after the sneeze, because the force makes it a super fine
mist.  Growing up on the southern Oregon coast, watching fog, triggered
that mist concept in my mind.  The idea that you can walk into a sneeze you
never even knew happened, is mind boggling.

Myth Busters has done some interesting episodes on the spread of germs.
The sneeze in particular.

I have a nice pair of safety shield glasses to go over my glasses.  The way
they close up makes my glasses get less steamed up from my mask.
Please stay safe and stay healthy.
