I do laugh and judge the people who wear a mask, but keep it below their nose though

Bandana, balaclava, neck gaiter pulled up are all probably just as good as a surgeon-style mask (for normal people out in public, not in an OR) and maybe better. I wouldn't bet against them being as good as an N95. (good meaning reducing the probability of getting or spreading the disease).
As I understand it, there's no evidence things like that are as good, but only because there are no studies on it. There's also no evidence they're worse.

So I should donate my old P95 mask I’ve had sitting in the garage for 6 years?

Yes, of course.
Bandana with clear face shield.
Or 3M respirator.

It's not so much protecting you -- if you walk through a cloud of virus, the mask isn't stopping it. It's about knocking down the spread distance when you exhale your virus.

Correct.
It keeps people away.
Win/win.

You’d have to be a complete asshat to judge people who wear them now, particularly given all of the mixed messages and outright misinformation floating around about how this virus is spread.
Typical simp response

I have no problem with people wearing PPE. I may start using it in public.
The gloves thing doesn't work in the world though with the way people are using them. They are called disposable for a reason.
The lady at the Wendy's drive through with her gloves on is contaminating every person's credit card with every other person's germs that came through before you, just protecting herself.

I have six masks and I’m saving them for when shite really hits the fan.
Posted on 4/3/20 at 12:32 pm to stout
Yes, but its out of an abundance of caution to others, my family, and the patients I'm around all day.

I like to hang mine on the rearview mirror.

I wear one of these badboys. Between my mask and the pistol on my hip, I don't have to worry about people breaking the 6 ft human exclusion zone I have established around my person.

Nailed it.
Some of these replies clearly show the lack of basic knowledge of the situation.
