As I've mentioned, gaiters outside when there aren't many people around, surgical mask outdoors when people are around but I've switched to N95 indoors all the time now.
Today I had the entire damn Rockfeller preserve all to myself but I'm glad I wore a gaiter it was so bloody cold. |
Agreed. I follow a similar protocol as you. I wear gaiters all the time outside anyway just because it’s freezing here most of the year. I read that same CDC article you linked, and started to fold the gaiter over to create a double layer when I have to be close to people outside or need to pop inside for a minute. I need to up my indoor mask game — I just use a cloth mask for shopping, etc. My family is double masking, although the N95 alone seems to be sufficient.
