Not necessarily mask related, but just generally a good read to understand how to consider questions like this when they pop up, at least for me!</p> <p><a href="https://www.erinbromage.com/post/the-risks-know-them-avoid-them" rel="nofollow">https://www.erinbromage.com/post/the-risks-know-them-avoid-them</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/face-shield-vs-face-mask#post-2915258 Tue, 12 May 2020 00:02:17 +0000 DesertDreams88 2915258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ms. RV: they're available on etsy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/face-shield-vs-face-mask#post-2915252 Mon, 11 May 2020 19:38:47 +0000 Ms. RV 2915252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Littlebit7: I saw those a little while back!

Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/face-shield-vs-face-mask#post-2915251 Mon, 11 May 2020 19:32:56 +0000 Littlebit7 2915251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So a coworker of mine was looking for a seamstress to sew a mask that actually had a plastic panel over the mouth (she is working with a deaf patient who reads lips at an acute rehab facility and needs the patient to be able to see her mouth). I haven’t looked at this at all but perhaps google could help here? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/face-shield-vs-face-mask#post-2915248 Mon, 11 May 2020 18:20:37 +0000 Ms. RV 2915248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gotkimchi: boo :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/face-shield-vs-face-mask#post-2915247 Mon, 11 May 2020 18:06:08 +0000 gotkimchi 2915247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don’t believe a plastic face guard like a splash shield would be a replacement for a mask </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/face-shield-vs-face-mask#post-2915243 Mon, 11 May 2020 17:00:02 +0000 Ms. RV 2915243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone seen anything to say whether plastic face shields could be used instead of cloth face masks? Someone posted the other day concerned that infants wouldn't be seeing facial expressions and I am trying to determine if clear plastic shields are an acceptable alternative. </p>
