That would not work for me. I don't understand French very well so I
would have to concentrate - thus keeping me from falling asleep.

Currently I don't think anywhere requires masks. I suppose it may change
come fall and flu season for some places like medical consultations of

Yuppers. And it doesn't even require a smart phone and an app. You just
look at it and compare the top of the mercury column with the adjacent
scale. Much innovative...
