Coronavirus and the Death Care Industry

[nephir]

First off,thank you all for your kind words and support. I am in a better headspace, mainly due to you all, so, again thanks!

So in the past two weeks I've been experimenting with mask designs, some for the family for when they go out, and others for my co-workers. We have seen an extension on the stay at home order, now to extend out to May 4th. So, no May Day dances for our household.

It's been interesting to play with. I've played with the pattern in this video:

Sorry it's not in English, but the masks come out quick and easy, and fit most faces.

I've also done several based on this pattern:

I think it really depends on what you are comfortable wearing. Easy to put together though, both versions.

I'm happy to answer any questions on them, if you have them.

My Fire Department Chief's daughter made everyone masks, double layers. In between the layers, she put the material from a HEPA furnace filter. I think that's pretty genius.
