It is better to go for a real mask instead of bandannas and neck-gaiters but it matters most that you keep it over your nose and mouth, not what type of mask it is. How to get the most out of your mask.Can the virus live in water? COVID can survive in water and can't multiply in water, nobody is really contracting it through water. Do you still need to wear a mask even if you're seven feet or more apart? Not in indoor or public spaces, but if you're outside and socially distant you could theoretically take it off.Can older people with COVID still be asymptomatic? It is more likely for older people to become symptomatic but they can definitely be asymptomatic. Even among people who are more at risk, the majority of people who contract the virus will remain asymptomatic.Should we be washing surgical masks? It's better to let them sit for 3 days, as washing them can degrade their effectiveness.How reliable are the studies on masks? Whether or not to wear masks is a political issue, not a scientific issue. We have many studies proving that masks are effective and needed.How much of a coincidence is it that minorities are being affected the most by COVID-19 under our current administration?
