Then put it on, and pinch the bridge of your nose while pulling the mask downward. Worked wonders for me (I use a surgical mask so I can't vouch for any other types). Expand Oooooo, that might be just the ticket I'm looking for. I also use surgical masks too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That very well may result in a ban. Certainly not while wearing an N95 mask (that may upset @BeeastFarmer), but if you must a cloth mask should work fine. Being a bit selective and disingenuous in your story telling today, eh BJ? Expand Beeastfarmer does not get upset over things like this anymore. I have realized that people are going to do what they are going to do in spite of evidence-based practice. The situation has resolved, at least here on KIC. I hope he does not cuss someone out or take a swing, though. That's dangerous in general and even more so during a pandemic. I'll stay clear of any bearded fella with a well used N95 mask covered with a bandana. I have to say that I was impressed with someone's father here. Kid complaining about wearing a mask and the dad sent him out to mow and pull weeds. Sounds like he learned his lesson and looks forward to riding Diamondback. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once we get a vaccine and/or an effective treatment, those stuff will be relaxed. They didn't stay once the 1918 Spanish Flu ended.

King Ding Dong Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Nothing is guaranteed when it comes to viruses. Keep in mind for many years HIV research received as much federal funding as all of cancer research. Still no HIV vaccine, I know completely different virus but there are no guarantees.

CoasterFan3180 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I’m willing to bet we’ll have a Covid vaccine available at some point.

There's literally no way it'll be enforced strictly throughout the entire park. Expand Plenty of people won’t be taking there masks off. As I said just because other places don’t require masks, doesn’t mean it will happen at KI. KI has laid down the rules, and they will be followed, if people want to have fun at the park. In fact, the CDC now requires masks to be worn for large groups. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
