Please announce,how to maintain the mask after use . How to wash . How to dry . How to put it on and off .

I have donated a bunch that i made and am now selling some on my etsy!

You two aren't 1m apart and not wearing face masks. In SG, alarm bells would have gone off.

Ok. But the scientists who experimented said that you have to make these out of two layers of 200thread count or more cotton with a dense layer of flannel between them to get roughly 80% of viral particles blocked. Suffocation. That Tinder hookup isn’t worth it.

I noticed these two people were closer than 6ft apart.... Just Sayinnn

Way easier to make the no-sew ones

Or, or, or, we could just increase production, to provide an ample supply of masks for health care workers and the population, while enforcing a national lockdown once and for all. TrumpIsALoser

I made one my way, looks like shit but whateves lol

Laika - why? The only goal for Laika is to tell your loved ones that you are alive 24/7 suitable for users: -with loved ones far away from home - too busy to call every day - doesn’t care but still want to know Do you understand the graph?

Like we got a sewing machine sitting at the house. Please.

Our sewing group has donated 2500 homemade masks just like this one to our heros at out local hospital! Homesewnheros North Bay Sewists Unite. Sonoma County Strong!

That's great except these materials are not able to be sourced.

*me with spagetti in one hand and a needle in the other* WAHT

Zero transparency behind their statistics, but I should...Lol, tie a bandanna around my face. There will be a noose around a Fed's neck, before there's a mask on my face. .

I need the N95 mask. I don't know how it works but when I breathe in the air is still cool. Any other mask, the air is warm and I start to feel sick. Fortunately my husband bought a pack 2 years ago.

Also put on glasses or sunglasses to block you from touching your eyes

I wondered when this would happen

CDC guidelines are poor. Example all essential workers are not protected. Many work in food production lines only inches apart some could have the virus and spread to others. CDC said someone has the virus just wipe with disinfect wipes use Clorox if necessary to the area.

I will not.

These people are all insane...look and act ridiculous in your urban over populated cities the rest of us Americans will laugh and point

Well, only medical personnel get gloves and masks (store can’t stock, not allowed); and there’s not enough chloroquine (according to news) for everyone: so prescriptions unfilled = we’re sitting ducks unless someone gets it together. Covid_19 COVID19US CoronavirusUSA

Made one today

You guys need to keep demanding Trump wear one. No other questions until he puts one on

Only now you’re reporting this? 🙄😷 old news.

They might only remind you to not touch your face, and that helps... ...but please WASH them between uses. ;)

Nope

This is a joke. It’s only becaise we don’t have any real masks. It’s window dressing. A cloth cover protects from nothing.

They closed the fabric store tho

I just went through my material and I'm going to start making them for my family and friends and who ever might need some too👍 at no charge I wouldn't feel right taking money

Buy the proper masks not wash and reuse. Not homemade crap. They bailout Corp.'s because that's how they get kickbacks and bribes. Screw the Oil Co bailout. Buy the proper equipment motherf**kers. RepubliKKKlans steal enough money.

I agree. The face mask covering should be made from two layers of heavy weight quilted cotton with a thread count of at least 180 and have a thicker and tighter weave. Less quality fabric also works well as long as there is an internal layer of flannel. Don’t use T-shirts or kni

Trump could Send C-130 Transports overseas to buy what is needed. He could do this 10 or 20 times. The Patriots Football Team did it but they only have 1 plane. But since Trump and Racist Republikkklans can't make any money they don't give a crap about the people.

They do absolutely zero good at all. Not doing it

Even a scarf is better than nothing..

Use a paper coffee filter between layers for DIY masks

Bravo 👍 great idea

Trump: 'I don't see myself doing it' coronavirus

2020 medical recommendations are bizarre.

I can see, I've got internet, and HEPA fabric. So I'm good.

Even if you had n95s...wouldn't you feel like a dick wearing them in public knowing that healthcare workers can't get them

Search for Bill gates's event 201
