Do you wear goggles or a face shield when going out, now

No. Given the main way to get it is via inhalation I'm not wearing goggles/glasses that will fog up and limit my visibility when driving or walking.
Let's not safety shame. There's plenty of people that do not take any precautions to put that energy into.
This would be great, I could finally go outside again and hang out at The Tower.
When you are trying to reduce your chances getting it by .005% you may as well just stop using cars or avoid eating anything but baby food to keep yourself safe.

COVID-19 is a new type of coronavirus that causes mild to severe cases. Here’s a quick guide on how to spot symptoms, risk factors, prevent spread of the disease, and find out what to do if you think you have it.

COVID-19 fact check: Can you catch it through your eyes?
By now, we’re all aware of the importance of wearing a face mask to protect ourselves and those around us from COVID-19. Covering both your mou...

" The CDC recommends that eye protection be worn by healthcare workers in "areas with moderate to substantial community transmission." As community spread increases, eye protection is one more layer of protection to help reduce transmission to those on the front lines.
As of yet, the CDC has not issued any eye protection recommendations for the general public, so it's a matter of preference. Each individual should assess their own personal risk and determine what behaviors — including any additional PPE — make sense for them and their household."
My nose would start itching about 30 seconds after I put one of those on.
your eyes are open skin
search for should I cover my eyes
it makes sense that you should cover your eyes. It might be overboard but if you want to be extremely safe you should
I don't. I don't judge someone who does, but I think there's a stronger likelihood that you contract covid through your eyes by touching a tainted service and then rubbing your eyes, rather than walking into a cloud of virus and it sticking to your eyeballs, and then getting absorbed that way.
I consider the virus cloud eye transmission thing up there with the 'leave your groceries out for 2 weeks before bring them thing,' thing, which is like, we heard some rumors about it early on, they're unsubstantiated, difficult to prove one way or another, and so if someone feels better about themselves doing it that way then that's fine with me, but it seems less likely as an avenue for trasmission.

I wear glasses as standard, beyond that my safety measures are a mask with a filter pad and a bottle of hand alcohol goop.
No, and if you do you're trying too hard. If you have to go out for something, a mask and distance is about the best you can do.
Well this ofc
Would this actually work?
I would go out more if I could wear this.
I'd put Cheetos in the beak to munch on.
saw plenty of people like this at the super market when shit first went down. Now I'm lucky if I dont have some random asshole walk right up to me to talk to me right in my face with a mask on their chin when I go out.No, but I wore this once for grocery shopping:
Had no mask at home, didn't trust cloth masks back in April or so. Haven't worn it since or a face shield.
