We’re talking about this guy, right? With all the cocaine he’s done, I’m not surprised he’s at half-mast with that mask.

I’ve found that always using masks that have those bendy metal strips on the top and pinching a pretty sharp bend into the metal where the bridge of the nose will be before putting the mask on can help with getting a better fit in the glasses area.

I have a small number of N95 masks from my workshop supply. I use one for shopping, and another for work. The fit is very tight (otherwise, why bother?) which helps with the seal around the nose. It becomes pretty uncomfortable after a while, but that is a price one has to pay.
Sometimes my glasses fog, and with some mask designs they ride too high, and since I wear progressives, I am looking out through the bottom part of the lens and can’t see anything beyond a couple of yards. Again, better than getting COVID and/or passing it around.

His nose is too sensitive from snorting all that nose candy!

How about we just superglue an old-fashioned deep sea “Diver Dan” helmet over his head?
His thought processes suggest that he doesn’t need an air supply.

In Kudlow’s case, it’s OK to wear your mask that way, because he’s a well-known mouthbreather.

That’s one thing that Kudlow actually does literally correctly: He takes dumps, rather than leaving them.

I had a few N95s in the garage when this all started but passed them on to my daughter to share with her classmates, so have been using the ones with the metal strips across the nose. There’s still a small amount of leakage but the “pull forward” trick helps a lot. We’re now waiting for CARE packages from relatives in both Australia and Canada (where they’re far more readily available) to restock supplies.
It does make you ask “WTF happened to us?”
When WW II started, we found we could build thousands of Liberty ships, tens of thousands of tanks, hundreds of thousands of airplanes and over 151 aircraft carriers in four years! We had so many carriers we were giving them away to the Brits, the Canadians, hell even the Aussies got one!
And yet today, we can’t ship masks or even keep the toilet paper aisle reliably stocked. The world is laughing at us - we’d better get it right on Nov. 3… 
ETA: found an article on the Casablanca-class escort carrier that claims a total of 151 aircraft carriers total (including both fleet carriers and the smaller escort carriers). The difference is probably explained by the Lead-Lease ships supplied to the British and others. I’m so pedantic about this because 16 more carriers just (along with all the other ships, tanks, guns, etc) just makes us look even more stupidly incompetent. It feels like we’ve become the Soviet Union, unable to even keep the stores stocked…

Three or four of them would be even more effective, I believe.

In a literal sense he’s correct, we won’t have a second wave because this first wave is not ending, at least not until we start being logical.

Larry Kudlow was one of the stupidest people on CNBC. Now he’s one of the stupidest people in the Dump administration.
Nothing surprising here.

The nylon stocking over the face is also quite helpful if you are planning to rob a bank while observing good COVID safety procedures.
Part of a book I’m now planning to write on ethical approaches to bank-robbing and other larcenous crimes.

If your glasses are being fogged, you do not have a seal and the mask may protect others from your droplets, but it’s not doing much for you. If you have a home made mask, try finding a way to insert one of those little metal twist ties that often come with plastic baggies.

In my youth I was a bit fascinated with the history of naval warfare, and I read quite a bit about WWII, mostly the Pacific Theater (my father was an Army Air Corps gunner in the pacific). The Japanese knew they were doomed if they didn’t get a leg up on us in the first 6 months of the war, because they knew we would turn on industry to beat them. The Battle of Midway was June 4 - June 7, 1942, just six months after Pearl Harbor. There remained years of bloody cleanup, but the outcome was already determined by that time.
Now we can’t make a bunch of masks.

Sadly, I have a very complicated prescription, so my glasses need to be on the bridge of my nose, not partway down. The metal strips help but I still can’t get a good seal. And some mask’s ear loops interfere with the earpieces of the glasses. 
I am trying different mask designs to find what works best. Someday . . .

Haha, right? I can just see him following a trail of them and picking them up like ET chasing the trail of Reese’s Pieces…

I use the double pleated masks with the metal band over the nose. If you pinch it so that the top of the mask fits your nose and is flush with your cheeks, no glasses fogging occurs.

Now wait just a minute!
If that’s not the proper way to wear underwear, then why do they call it underwear?

Contact the organizers. They should have rules about masks (and other things). If there’s a mask rule and the vendors aren’t following it, then the organizer needs to enforce it. If there’s no mask rule, then the organizer urgently needs to buy a clue.
ETA: Here’s our local setup for an example of how to do it right.

I’d love to hear a reporter ask, “Are you really that fucking stupid or are you just Sacha Baron Cohen pulling our chain?”
