Although even back then they said a mask and a shield together is the most protective
but doctors were saying just less than 2 mos. ago stuff like this >
Dr. Amesh Adalja, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins University Center for Health Security told Insider it would be extremely unlikely for someone else's viral particles to penetrate your shield, unless someone "sticks their face, sticks themselves directly" where there is a hole.

I never have had one because I find masks easier but I see many people in only a shield 😣
