I thought one of the ways to get kids to actually mask up was to get them neck gaiters that make it easy for them to have on them at all times. Turns out that they may actually INCREASE the risk of Covid-19 transmission relative to wearing nothing. SMDH 

The most secure mask, an N95, led to a droplet transmission of below 0.1 percent. But handmade cotton and polypropylene masks, some of which were made from apron material, also proved effective, with droplet transmission ranging from 0.1 percent to 0.4 percent. One mask, which was knitted, released a higher number of droplets, from 0.1 percent to 0.6 percent. But none of the masks compared with the neck fleece, which had 110 percent droplet transmission (10 percent higher than not wearing a mask).

I wear a neck gaiter over my mask sometimes.  But doesn't the material from which the gaiter is made make all the difference?
