The wholesale price is 12.41 pesos but because of the great demand, the retail price also increased, from 35 pesos now 50 pesos. Though the price is still affordable but because it will be mandatory by August 15, a lot of people do panic buying. Do you have the same story there as far as face shield is concerned?

Good thing my boss provided me that for free and it is made of hard acrylic plastic and sturdy one. I am feel my face is already enclosed already that it becomes foggy now when you breathe in and out.

@Janet357 True when you wear that longer then it becomes a bit suffocating already because of the buildup of CO2 so you need to have to breathe in the open for a while to take in fresh oxygen.

@Janet357 Yes, it was controlled with medical masks and the lockdown. We have almost no new cases right now.

@Janet357 Thank heavens we do not have to wear face shields here. We have to wear masks when we go out but not face shields.

You have few cases there. also, i don't think wearing it can really stop the spread of cases.

@Janet357 I think if more learn to social distance and do wear a mask or something covering their faces and be more respectful of others that want to live then hopefully that will help.

@Hannihar this is true., if people have the discipline to do it, i think the spread can be controlled.
