Why do we see these muzzles/masks hanging from rear view mirrors in cars? Surely it's a "Look at me everybody" thing.

Doesn't touch anything else, easy to find and quick to grab as you get out. I can understand delivery drivers hanging them there or on van gearsticks, can't you?

None of that explains why they don't bin them after a single use,like one's supposed to do!

You shouldn't need to repair a face mask as they are only truly effective if used once and then binned. ** I feel once could be stretched to a full day but certainly not used the following day.

Therefore one should always have more a spare.

Obviously if a mask is washed after use this doesn't apply. We have six each, usually a couple in the wash, one in use and three waiting to be used.

I only use a mask for inside shops which is about 5 mins per day. I do wash the masks with antibacterial soapy water after a couple of uses. One of them broke when new.

Not a surgical setting though.

Also creates a blindspot in the drivers nearside. As shown in the picture.
