Send your kids back to school with a silly mask. Even if you aren’t a fan of putting on face coverings, the mandatory wearing of face masks in many public spots is unavoidable. The CDC is currently recommending that they be worn in all public settings when around people out of your household, particularly in areas where social distancing measures are difficult to maintain. Wearing a mask, along with social distancing and handwashing, can help prevent people who may have COVID-19 (especially those who may be asymptomatic) from spreading the disease to others they may come in contact with. Retailers like Walmart, Costco, and Target have all begun requiring masks for patrons entering their stores, many grocery chains require them shopping, some states have strict indoor and outdoor mask wearing policies, and many schools are requiring teachers and students to wear them this fall. The practice is for your safety and the safety of others during this pandemic. Because it is mandatory, you might as well have a little bit of fun with it and find some face mask accessories to make wearing a mask a bit more comfortable. Designers have started creating fashionable ones to match your wardrobe, and many companies have made playful and silly ones that will brighten up the day of the people who see it (you can even find Halloween coronavirus face masks to go with your costume!). There are a lot of different kinds out there from cloth masks to bandanas to gaiters, some for kids and some for adults. Try some of the funniest ones available to show off your style, all while staying safe.
