"Doc In , Doc Out: The need for Faceshields"

With Cities now making faceshields mandatory a friend of mine posted if this is for safey or business or a waste of money. This was my response:
"At first iniisip ko kung bakit need pa ng face shield. Yes masks and distancing and hand washing should be enough but it should be done by everyone properly. Not everyone does though.
What most people do not realize is that we still have that unconscious urge to touch our faces or even touch the mask that we are wearing, then scratch under the mask. The face shield prevents that. At least to a certain extent. Even helps in the virus to not get into your eyes regardless of how low that could be.
This also helps if the mask underneath is a bit displaced after eating or talking. There is that layer or protection because some would not even notice it.
Things take a lot of getting used to. But there are guidelines in wearing it. Do I like looking / feeling like an astronaut when I just want to buy food in a 7-11? Of course not but am I making all the efforts to secure my family is safer when I get home? 60-80 pesos seems like a low price for that. "
