Editor: I discovered today another good use for wearing surgical type masks in the winter, and not just to protect oneself from flu or the various COVID variants.
While waiting for the city transit bus several times this winter, or just walking outside in the cold, I have found the masks make it easier to breath in the cold and also keep one’s facial area from getting too cold and possibly even prevent some degree of frostbite.
So, if people that have a surplus supply of masks that they don’t use from the pandemic gone past, there is yet another good use here for these masks.
