The mask satisfies the requirement while allowing me to breath. It also satisfied every CM I saw at the park Tuesday. And I saw a lot. So yes, it worked. The light weight fabric may help the OP, or others.
If it looks like a mask, it will satisfy the Cast Members.
Mask efficiency is another story. The mask as you describe it does not protect you, or the others. It's just the same as if you were not wearing any mask at all.
Just because it looks like a mask, does not make it a "mask" (in the protective sense)
If you will, it's like wearing a T-shirt with a fake seatbelt printed on it. It will satisfy most cops passing by, but will not do any good if you crash.
I won't go into the great mask debate, but just offer some perspective from my own standpoint
As part of my disabilities, I have respiratory issues. I cannot wear any kind of mask for more than 20 minutes without developing strong headaches, and seeing black spots, and after 45 I have nausea, feel very dizzy, and am very close to passing out.
I fully understand I'm what you could call "frail", and I know I'm "at risk" if exposed to covid. Probably would send me to ICU with a tube down my throat.
That's the reason why I won't be visiting any disney parks. I live in France and
Disneyland Paris will reopen in a few days. I'll stay at home and wait until it's "safe" again. (and the pandemic is under control here, when it's rampant, and is still ramping up in FL. ) and I cancelled my august WDW trip.
I'm not giving anyone a lecture, or even advice here. Just sharing my viewpoint (namely : I can't breathe with masks, it means I'm not fit enough, so I won't go until masks are no longer a requirement)
Not being able to use a mask is not like not being able to cope with lines.
It's more like not meeting the height restrictions for a ride.
I would liken some DIY "easy to breath through" masks to putting soles into kids shoes so that they're tall enough. Hope this won't offend anyone here though. But I would certainly not advise anyone to sacrifice filtration to make it easier to breathe.
Filtration is the sole purpose the masks are required for. Don't sacrifice it, by, basically, poking thousands of small holes into the fabric ... (because those light fabric are basically ... holes ...all of which big enough to let those droplets go through)
. Still, it's great that your son did so well today!
I get people want to go out and about and enjoy their lives, but they shouldn't do so at the expense of others. If it is so thin it isn't catching your droplets, you have no business wearing it around others. You may as well say your enjoyment of the parks is more important than other people's health.
