Mask Articles for Coronavirus

Here is a short selection of articles and masks and directions for making masks.

You will need fabric, thread and elastic. It appears that elastic supplies are running low and so you could use fabric to make bands/tapes that you could tie with a bow at the back of your ears or head.  We make NO CLAIMS that these masks will protect you from covid19. Use at your own risk.

A note about how much these masks might protect you

Remember these are fabrics masks and only protect big droplets and not the virus in the air. According to the Guardian...Wearing a face mask is certainly not an iron-clad guarantee that you won’t get sick – viruses can also transmit through the eyes and tiny viral particles, known as aerosols, can penetrate masks. However, masks are effective at capturing droplets, which is a main transmission route of coronavirus, and some studies have estimated a roughly fivefold protection versus no barrier alone (although others have found lower levels of effectiveness).
