That seems to confirm common sense - how could they help? |  |

Airborne particles innit. |  |

What about all these people you see wearing a mask, tucked just under their chin... how effective are those ones, compared with the plastic shields?!  |  |

But there are so many gaps around a face sheild. Don't want to sound like a smartarse but it just seemed obvious. | |

I thought the point of them was to offer protection against virus particles getting in rather than preventing the spread of particles to the environment. |  |

I'm pretty sure there was a study in the last month that showed they could well be detrimental if used alone. Trap the air maybe, so lead to greater exposure if the virus is present? Dunno on the whys. |  |

Tho it will shield effectively against a direct stream of particles (e.g. a cough or shout in your direction). |  |

Those shields have genuinely baffled me unless people have worn both a mask and one of those on top. |  |

An opaque one would shield my eyes from those with ugly mugs? |  |

I would think anyone can see that without the need for a study. I've seen people in them and thought from the start l cant see how they do any good. |  | | |

I’d always assumed they were really just a useful accessory to wearing a mask, one that might prevent droplets getting in your eye that you might spread if you then rubbed them. |  | | |

It is, I work with particle scientists who have said this from April. They offer no filter and are a useless defence unfortunately. |  | | |

Goggles and mask are recommended as being far superior by most healthcare professionals. You only need a (type 2 or better) mask in most environments, however. |  |

They allow the wearer to think, and the employer to claim, they are doing something
Much like prayer in response to a disaster | | | |
