For those of you wondering about the best homemade mask materials.

Someone can link these articles, I never learned how.

Read these:

Yahoo.com/the best coronavirus face mask materials, according to a new study

Www.huffpost.com/entry/best-coronavirus face mask materials, according to a new study

The study looked to be well done. Spoiler alert, Donald Trump proved to be a dumbass once again.

I have a nice pair of old jeans and a sowing kit. I have teeshirts also. I am not at the point of sewing DYI masks because I have an N95 mask and my brother that owns a farm has a package with a number of them, brand new.

to use for extra masks, my spouse combed through his top drawer to see if he still had any bandanas. No, those had apparently expired sometime during the 1970s.

But he emerged with a yarmulke (skull cap) that perfectly covered his nose and mouth area. He jokingly proposed that perhaps we could tie some straps on it. Unfortunately, it was a souvenir from a wedding and had Mazel Tov, plus the bride and groom’s names, emblazoned in gold lettering on it. I deemed it inappropriate and ridiculous. We sure had a good laugh, though!
