So for the duration of this crap I have only used 1 mask. A painters mask. The whole time. I leave the mask in my truck and the temps get over 120 degrees.

Does the heat kill the germs?

I am guessing this is about as effective as any cloth

If a bandanna is all that is required in my county that may be where I am going.

120 would probably not do it. Again, outside of N95 masks, the mask is primarily for others to limit PREsymptomatic spread.

I think you will find wearing an over the ear cloth mask easier and more comfortable than a bandana for running into a store.

Checked some sources and I was wrong. The guidance is 130f for 15 mins will kill most

Put it on the dash and the UV light will kill COVID.

(Assuming your windshield doesn't filter UV)

I used a bandanna for the first time today. Way more comfortable. Left it in the truck also.

Thanks for the info guys!

Seriously? Someone does some additional research, reports back that they were initially wrong, and supplies correct information and you respond with this? Must be nice to be perfect
