John, if you prefer to use “decontaminate”, that’s okay with me
1/ I bet 99% don't. ( And there lies the problem. )


2/ Decontaminate seems to cover ALL bugs.-----( good word that.-Lol. )


The thing is if we do come into contact with the Covid19 virus it is most likely to be all over us. The entry points appear to be in the facial area.

If somebody has coughed or sneezed near you and you have, unfortunately, some of those viruses on your skin then covering them up with a mask seems to be counter-productive.--


Bit like shutting the gate after the horse has bolted.--


Just my opinion of course but I'm trying to look at the problem from a practical point of view.

It's the interim removal of the mask to eat that exposes you to possible virus contact.
