Scientific Quotes:
Healthwise (17 May 2020)
Medical professionals have warned that people with
chronic asthma who use face masks, especially the surgical and clothing type,
are exposing themselves to hypoxia.
WHO (9July 2020)
Masks and face coverings reduce the speed of the
puff of air that is produced when sneezing, coughing or talking. Decreasing the
velocity of the expelled air reduces the distance that droplets are transported
into the person’s surroundings
AARP (23July 2020)
Health experts say shields appear to be very
effective at preventing infection — maybe even more effective than masks — for
someone going about regular daily activities and not in a high-risk health care
setting.Another benefit, says Amesh Adaljq M.D.: With a
mask, you may find yourself constantly adjusting it and therefore touching your
face and possibly transferring the virus from your hands, but wearing a shield
“doesn’t really put you in a position where you’re touching your face so much,
because it’s not as cumbersome to wear.”And finally, Adalja adds, “If you walk down the
sidewalk, you can find lots of masks that are just discarded there, which are
an infection control risk for other people. Whereas a face shield is something
that people can just clean themselves and reuse.”
CDC [Centres for Disease Control andPrevention] San Diego (23 July 2020)
Lauren Lek, head of school at Academy of Our Lady
of Peace, in San Diego says that face shields are better than masks for
students with learning differences, including autism spectrum disorders (ASDs),
because they allow for full visibility of facial expressions that can help them
read and understand social cues. CDC [Centres for Disease Control and
Prevention] and our local public health office confirmed that face shields
would be an acceptable alternative to face masks.
What our clients say:
Sasha client services:
Easy Masks has a unique solution to the
compulsory wearing of masks. You often see people wearing a cloth mask around
their neck or exposing their nose or mouth because they cannot breathe or talk
naturally. This habit is exposing people to possible infection. With Easy Masks
breathing and talking is natural and the masks are comfortable to wear. You
only remove your mask when you sleep, drink or eat. This makes Easy Masks my
family’s choice for protection against infections.
Sammy beautician:
In my work I am in close proximity to my clients.
While wearing my cloth mask clients often complained that they cannot hear me.
Now that I wear an Easy Mask I don’t have to worry about communication and my
clients and I still feel safe.
Sipho Uber driver:
I have asthma and it is very hard to breath with
a cloth mask. Now that I wear my Easy Mask I don’t get panic attacks or
headaches.
Peter chef and restaurant owner:
What a great idea. I wish somebody invented this mask years ago. Since I bought the
masks for my staff they are visibly happier. It is tough to work in a kitchen
wearing a cloth mask or shield. My clients feel more comfortable because there
will be no saliva droplets in their food. I personally wear my mask to be able
to communicate properly with staff and clients.
