HEPA Filters Are Effective Materails for DIY Face Masks - Smart Air

HEPAs are some of the highest-performing filters out there, so we experimented in using HEPA filters to make DIY masks in this how-to guide.

My mask is double layer cotton fabric with a pocket that you can insert a filter into. I bought several extra filters to change out. Mine came from Etsy.

I wonder why the people who won't wear a mask because it removes their personal freedoms wear a shirt and shoes.

*GASP* that's an excellent idea. I want my shoes off. Time to go make some FB memes and a few well placed YT videos...
(except is summer, and the world really is made for those wearing shoes)

Right, it is summer, it is hot. Why are people wearing clothes at all when they go shopping?

@Bruce Now I'm reading my children's voices speaking through your screen name.

Our son in law is an assistant Principal and is on several different committees trying to figure out how to have school open, stay compliant and keep kids safe. It is mind boggling all the different scenarios he described. Teachers are in short supply everywhere as those who are able, are opting for retirement. 2,000 teachers are needed in Houston alone. In a classroom that previously held 40 kids, now with 6’ apart, it will hold a dozen? Where to put the other 34 kids?

 

[rachels.haven]

Lol, our schools are trying to cut it to 3' apart. Yours are being so generous.

 

[Baymule]

I don’t see how schools are going to do it.

I read something yesterday that the spike in numbers in Florida may have something to do with contaminated test equipment but can't find anything to confirm what I read.

Every one is pointing the finger at some one or something here, right now the governor is getting roasted for shutting down late and reopening early......just too many people not taking precautions here and thinking everything is as expected and "normal"...
132 deaths last night...291000 cases state wide, numbers have risen in the last 24 hours....thank heavens for my toilet paper stash, looks like we will be home for quite some time

Have you heard what percent of hospitalizations are happening or how many are showing only mild symptoms?

I've heard that 33 labs are under investigation for recording a 9.8% positivity rate as 98%....we are not known for being "out and about" people, so the only thing that has changed for us is getting food thru a drive thru window....oh, had to put a mask on to go inside the bank today.....our county is pretty low on the "numbers" list....

Sounds good about the pup!!......
