CHILD READY TO HEAD BACK TO SCHOOL IS A BIG PRIORITY RIGHT NOW NEWS 4 JAX REPORTER VIC
MICOLUCCI BREAKS DOWN HOW YOU
CAN TEST THE SAFETY OF YOUR
CHILD’S MASK.
>> AS SOME STUDENTS START
RETURNING TO A NEW TYPE OF
CLASSROOM FACE COVERINGS ARE
AMONG THE LIST OF NECESSARY
BACK TO SCHOOL SHOPPING ITEMS.
BUT
WHAT ARE THE BEST AND MOST SAFE
MASKS FOR THEM
RIGHT NOW. JOINING US THIS
MORNING IS LEO FRIEDMAN WITH I
PROMO THAT TO US SUPPLIER OF
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE GEAR, GOOD
MORNING TO
YOU LEO. GOOD MORNING, THANK
YOU FOR HAVING ME ALL RIGHT SO
KIDS ARE DRAWN TO THE BRIGHT
COLORS AND MAYBE THEIR FAVORITE
PRINCESS OR SUPERHERO. IT’S
COOL RIGHT. BUT THE
QUESTION IS DO THOSE TYPES OF
FACE COVERINGS REALLY KEEP THEM
SAFE.
>> THE CHALLENGE THAT
WE’RE SEEING AND EVEN
SOME BUSINESS ARE CATCHING UP
THAT A LOT OF THESE MASKS AND
FACE COVERINGS ARE IN ESSENCE
PLACEBO EFFECTS. YOU’RE JUST
PUTTING IT ON. BUT THEN AT THE
DATA SHE DOESN’T PROTECT YOU.
AS AN EXAMPLE THE GYM I GO TO
THE BAND GATORS AND TO PLAYA
MASKS. THEY DO NOT BELIEVE THAT
PROTECTS YOU IN THE OTHER
PEOPLE AROUND.
>> YEAH, THAT’S THE THING
BECAUSE UNFORTUNATELY THERE ARE
SOME PEOPLE
WITH MASKS THAT EITHER DON’T
HAVE ENOUGH LAYERS OF
PROTECTION OR THEY JUST DON’T
FIT RIGHT AND THEY FEEL LIKE
THEY’RE SAFE, THEY FEEL LIKE
THEY’RE PROTECTING OTHERS
AROUND THEM.
AND THE REALITY IS THEY MIGHT
NOT BE SO MASKS COME IN
DIFFERENT SIZES AND SHAPES HOW
DO YOU KNOW WHICH ONE IS
CORRECT FOR YOU PERSONALLY.
>> SO OBVIOUSLY THE LEAST
AMOUNT OF SPACE YOU HAVE
ROUNDS.
THAT’S NOT COVERED AND YOU HAVE
GAPS BETWEEN YOUR FACE
MINIMIZE THAT THE LESS SPACE
THERE IS THE BETTER IN THE
SECOND THING YOU SHOULD DO IS
NUMBER ONE. DO A QUICK TEST
WITH YOUR MASK PUT ON YOUR MASK
DOESN’T MATTER IF IT’S A STEEP
LIKE A 95 OR EVEN A
CLOTH MASK PUT ON YOUR MASK AND
BLOWS HARD AS YOU CAN WITH A
LIGHTER IN FRONT OF YOU.
YOU SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PUT
OUT THE LIGHTER.
AND THE SECOND THING WHICH IS
WAY MORE IMPORTANT BECAUSE
COVID.
IS SPREAD VIA TINY
AIRBORNE VIRUSES AND IT’S
BASICALLY A AIRBORNE ITS
ACTIONS. YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE.
DOES NOT
DOES NOT THE WATER AND HERE’S WHAT I MEAN BY THAT WHATEVER MASK YOU
HAVE TAKE THE MASK.
THEIR WATER INTO IT.
YOU POUR WATER INTO IT AND NOTHING SHOULD JET. IF THERE’S ANY IF
ANYTHING DRIPS LIKE IMAGINE IF
YOUR GATORS SOMETHING DRIPS TO
MEANS THE AIRBORNE COVID FIRES
CAN GET THROUGH THE MASK
BECAUSE THEN OF
THE DAY IT’S THEIR WATER
PARTICLES FLOATING THROUGH
THERE YOU WALK INTO THE WATER
WALK INTO A COUGH SNEEZE CLUB.
WHATEVER MAY BE.
IT WILL GET TO YOUR GATE OR A
BAD MASKS AND THAT WATER TO US
IS CRUCIAL. WHEN YOU ASPHALT
A SHELL.
A SHELL. >> SO TELL ME WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR THOSE CLOTH MASKS THE
ONES THAT FEEL LIKE A T-SHIRT
FOR EXAMPLE.
>> IT’S A PLACEBO. IT’S TRULY A
PLACEBO EFFECT AGAIN IT WEARING
SOMETHING IS BETTER THAN
NOTHING
BUT IT JUST DOES NOT PROTECT
YOU IF IF WATER CAN GET THROUGH
YOUR. YOU KNOW
SHE SHOULD THEN THE CORONAVIRUS
WHICH IS A TINY LITTLE VIRUS
WILL GET THROUGH THE
COBBLER TO WHATEVER MATERIAL
YOUR SHIRT IS MADE OUT OF HAS
TO PASS THE WATERS US AND
THAT’S THE
CDC RECOMMENDATION.
>> ALL RIGHT WELL, LET’S TALK
ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN DISPOSABLE AND REUSABLE
FOR YOUR CHILDREN IF THEY DO
DECIDE TO GO BACK TO
A CAMPUS. WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND
BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE HAVE A BIG
BOX OF THOSE MEDICAL SURGICAL
MASKS AND WE ALL DO YOU DO THAT
DAILY OR OTHER PEOPLE HAVE ONE
THAT THESE REUSABLE THAT YOU
CAN THROW IN THE WASHING
MACHINE.
>> SO OBVIOUSLY THEY’RE USABLE
ONES ARE
MORE FUN AND I THINK THE
BIGGEST HURDLE FOR PARENTS IS
GOING TO BE ACTUALLY GETTING
THE KIDS TO KEEP THEIR MASKS
ON.
AND THE DISPOSABLE WANTS TO
KNOW THAT
AT ALL NOT THE BEST LOOKING
MASKS AND ARE NOT THE MOST
ASKED TO WEAR. FOR A
LONG TIME. SO THERE’S 2 THINGS
YOU CAN DO. AND GIVE YOUR KIDS
A CHOICE. THANK YOU IF YOU LIKE
THEY’RE VESTED. IT’S LIKE THE
MASK. THE
SECOND IS PUT SOME THOUGHT THIS ON THEIR HAT SO THAT THAN THAT I DON’T KNOW IF YOU
GUYS HE EVER WORE A MASK FOR
MORE THAN 2 HOURS. YOU SPEAK TO
HURT
A LOT. GIVING IT SOME THOUGHT
IS ON THE THUNDER HAD OR THE
CLASSES IF THEY WERE GLASSES
AND ALLOW THEM TO ATTACH TO
MASTER THAT THEN IN THE DAY
REUSABLE MASKS CAN BE JUST AS
GOOD AS DISPOSABLE MASKS AS
LONG AS THEY PASS OUT WATER US.
>> ALL RIGHT LEO FRIEDMAN WITH I PROMO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME
