Why Everyone Should Wear a Face Shield
When masks are not enough . . .
1. Transmission occurs primarily through respiratory droplets and aerosols being inhaled into the sinuses and coming in contact with the eyes, nose or mouth, either through the air or by touch.
2. Wearing a face shield, affords full face protection, including for the eyes.
2. COVID-19 infections are most contagious when shedding in the upper respiratory tract peaks between five days to one-half day before symptoms appear.
3. Up to 40% of children and adults are asymptomatic.
4. Asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic children and adults will likely go undetected by temperature checks during the most contagious period of infection.
5. In no way do the words asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic mean not contagious. Yes, children do get coronavirus, and yes, they can transmit it.
6. Large droplets can linger in the air for up to 13 minutes, smaller droplets and aerosols up to 3 hours after an infected person has laughed, talked, sneezed, coughed or just breathed. This means that no direct contact with an infected person is required to contract the virus.
7. Face shields are an excellent barrier against the main form of viral transmission, viral droplets.
8. Most masks are worn improperly and often below the nose, allowing viral contamination to both enter and escape the mask.
9. Because masks do not cover the eyes, they cannot protect against viral transmission through the mucous membranes of the eyes.
10. Wearing a surgical or medical face mask can lessen the amount of Covid-19 respiratory droplets and aerosols, and reduce the velocity in which they are propelled from an infected person's nose or mouth. These masks are best used in conjunction with adequate social distancing or a face shield.
11. Cloth masks in general, provide as little as half the protection of surgical masks, depending on materials used and how the mask is worn. These masks are best used in conjunction with adequate social distancing or a face shield as well.
12. Masks with filter valves filter air pulled in during inhalation. Exhaled breath, however, is released unfiltered from the wearer's nose or mouth freely into the surrounding area, along with any viral-particle contamination from wearers who are contagious.
According to CDC: Face shields worn in addition to masks can provide an added layer of protection and can also help people stop touching their faces. Workers who are around people for long periods of time, such as grocery store workers or hospital personnel, may want to wear face shields in addition to masks, to increase their protection.

“The rates of all infection outcomes were highest in the cloth mask . . .
Penetration of cloth masks by particles was almost 97% and medical masks 44%.”“Conclusions: This study is the first RCT of cloth masks, and the results caution against the use of cloth masks. This is an important finding to inform occupational health and safety. Moisture retention, reuse of cloth masks and poor filtration may result in increased risk of infection. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25903751/
“A simulation shows that exposure can be reduced by 96% when wearing a face shield that covers your eyes, nose and mouth. Plus, they can be easily wiped down and sanitized.”
