Don't have any ace bandages. My dad might though. I'll ask him on Saturday.

I'm really glad my sister made and sent us masks. As of Monday masks will be required in any public building: supermarkets, pharmacies, hardware stores, etc. in my county in MD.

I'm sure it does not apply to posters but PSA masks do not keep you from getting Corona. They prevent your chances of giving it to someone else/catching it from someone. The reason for this virus particles are small enough to escape anything but a certified respirator designed to prevent viral transmission or a BSL-4 level suit.
They will lessen your chances of giving it to someone else and someone else giving it to you. If I cough without covering my mouth I spray my germs for yards. My spit having to get out of my mouth and through the mask means less particles will get out but they WILL get out and they WILL spread. It also keeps people from sneezing/coughing into their hand then sharing the love with every surface they touch.
PPE does not prevent you from being exposed unless it's the above mentioned items. PPE lessens your chances and what you DO get exposed to is (hopefully) a lot less than it would be otherwise preventing you from getting enough in your eyes/nose/mouth to prevent infection.

My brother has quit "forever" as far as we know. Dad needs the help, especially with the twins being banned till their mom pulls her head out of her ass (so likely never). As dysfunctional as it is I've been aware this was coming since the day my brother graduated HS, I am surprised it took this long.

We got masks from a neighbor but she put ties on them. I took out the ties and put elastic on and inserted some filters we had. I used my mask when I went to the credit union and pharmacy today.
