OT, commerical fishermen wearing masks
 

From C-Span, Congressional committee hearing today, 5/11

Commerical fishermen: "With the wind and the noise, these guys are used
to relying on sign language and with a mask on they really can't."

Huh? They sound like the people least inconvenienced by a mask?

She also said that wet masks were dangerous to fishermen. Why would
that be?


David Kessler, Antony Fauci, Rochelle Walensky were testifying, but I
don't know what committee or who asked those questions. She was civil
and and didn't seem at all like an ideologue, but I still don't know why
a mask interferes with sign language. No one asked.

Restricted air flow and the fact that the water will transmit any
virus present through the mask in either direction?

The reality is I know commercial fishers and NONE of them have ever
had a mask.
