[QUOTE="donner, post: 3390229, member: 277"] They make masks with clear cutouts to aid hearing impaired folks. And the shield is also something that i know universities are going to employ to help for the same reason. I believe they function in similar ways to patricians in that they cut down on the spread of particulates in the breath. I don't pretend to know if they are perfect, but i suspect a lot of this is now 'the next best thing' since we clearly don't want to shut things down again. And doing nothing because some folks can't (or wont) figure out how to use a mask is ridiculous, too. And, capitalism is supposed to be great at figuring out how to fill market needs, right? If it's an issue for people who can't hear well then surely someone will figure it out. Or maybe we just tell folks like you, 'sorry' when it comes to eating out (in the same way we seem okay saying it to high risk folks). It's almost as if the scientists are trying to figure it out as we go. And how to balance it all with the shifting political winds. I believe there is information out there about why masks were not initially recommended and are now. I wont bother to address the rest of your red herring statement, though. It's not worth my time to say anything about a position i have not taken. Edited to add, this picture popped up on my newsfeed earlier today. It shows a type of mask that can help contain spread, but still allows for lip reading. [IMG]https://www.magnoliastatelive.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/52/2020/07/dobbs-2.jpeg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
