Not only that, she talks low enough I've had to lean over once

what she says.Â* "The self-checkout scanners are not on. " I
knew that.
If they were on, that's where I'd be.

One comment:Â*Â* they are directional in that you can aim the
exhaust some
what. Mine are pointed down and back towards my shoulders.

But these valves are meant to make breathing out easier, right?
while
using the rest of the mask to filter the air that comes in,
right?Â* It
seems that vents like this defeat the so-called goal of masks, to
protect the other people.


The valves make them useless for protecting others, so they
offer little
aid in reducing spreading.


Agree.
But if a bandana is consideredÂ* acceptableÂ* " to protect others

theseÂ* sports masksÂ* wouldn't be any worse.

You would not cluster bomb others when you coughed.
So maybe slightly better.

I very much doubt that.

Only stands to reason.Â* What does not get through the mask
on it own, builds up on the mask.Â* Then when you cough or
sneeze, you blow what you would have blown out without the
mask plus everything that has built up on the mask gets
blown all over everyone else.Â* So the exhaust hole does
help the build up issue

Wrong again.

Translation: you don't have an argument to present.

ROFLMAO!Â* So true!
