You know those people you see on TV

politicians and others who every time they talk their mask slips off of their nose?

Those are people for the most part, that never wear a mask unless they absolutely have to. They have not even bothered, one year into this, to find a mask that fits properly.

or keep reading glasses (pocket, head, on desk) or how you are comfortable with a laptop. That sort of stuff.

mine slipped off momentarily the other day, and I was downright aghast. I noticed and corrected it within 5 seconds.

And I wear masks all the time when I step out from my home.

even after all this time it can still happen, don't be so quick to judge.

That's what "for the most part" means.

I'm talking about people in the public eye, such as politicians, who speak on camera every day. I actually think some of them are trying to make a statement that they don't care and don't think it's important. You certainly don't sound like one of those people.

Is more comfortable and you can adjust the tension to keep it snug.
