    This along with the face shield policy are best designed not to separate you from a virus, but to separate you from your money. I wonder how all of the people that purchased these items feel, not to mention the vendors that I have seen selling them?

    You can see how people feel by going onto the NIATF fb site. Pretty annoyed I can tell you.

    does anyone have the link or links to any wind-tunnel studies which have been performed by any scientific institution or government worldwide that prove these "mandated" rider shields being forced upon us actually reduce breathing air exposure between the driver and rider? i ask because aerodynamic phenomenons often occur in which air is pulled back into a vortex behind an improperly designed wind blocking product... therefore it is quite possible that this rider shield has no scientific evidence that it does what is claimed and is nothing more than a hyped-up unproven piece of garbage being sold by a chinese entrepreneur to a bureaucrat in manila who when mandating their worthless product... gets a big cut of the pie.

    Don't have a link, but that may well explain why they have ditched the idea.

    I read that the idea was ditched for riders in the same household but they did not cancel it for other riders, thus eliminating criticisms of husbands and wives needing a barrier.

    Why would they test it and can you point to any other country that has done this? No.

    why should a government first test a product they claim reduces infection from covid-19 before mandating the pubic buy it with their own money and install it on their own private property? for me that answer seems self-evident.

    Just looking at this product, sold in lazada for 700php, it seems that the fluid dynamics would cause breath of the rider to flow around the barrier and hit the back rider in the face.

    They never took people like us into account! And, btw, YES, we do share the same bed.
