My mother-in-law once told me that she would give me a face shield. I just use a surgical mask and I have not tried wearing a face shield. But in the news, the government is urging us to wear it.
I think it is pretty uncomfortable. lol. That all I need is a sword. Well, if there is no choice, I will definitely put this on.

Looking at the scary situation around, I am too planning to get one. I am sure it would be quite uncomfortable. Here they have provided to all cleaning workers and store people in our premise.

@Janet357 More than discomfort it is the fear and panic that is killing us.

The authorities are really showing their stupidity. First, they said no need for face mask. Second, they said wear face mask. Now they want us to wear face shield. Those guys in the IATF seem to be nincompoops.

I had heard that the masks worked better than the shield alone, and that you should use both. Nothing is very comfortable any more.

I guess getting a face shield is not a bad idea. Serves as added protection to ourselves.

i think it is not compulsory to use a face shield unless you are in close contact with a person afflicted with the virus.

@Janet357 true. that is why those who have productive cough, chest pains, anosmia, no sense of taste, should consider themselves possible victims of the virus.

Since I have used it for 3 months let me clear it. Above mentioned mask doesn't help you to get away from that virus. It just avoid spreading your splits on others. Above shown image are fashion designer kit and nothing else.
And these fashion designer masks keeps your cheek area irritated. You will have sweating and with sweating you will have rashes if you wear it for too long. We had to wear it for 14 hours when we used to go at work.
N95 mask usually keep you bit safe (not 90%) but it does because of material it is made up of.
We get this when you ask for face shield.

Well they're indeed uncomfortable to wear because we are not used to, on the bright side they protect us from getting the virus and the people who already have it from speeding it! I can't wait for one day not having to wear the face mask! Totally get you!
