We have a young fella in Walmart electronics dept, he always wore a mask(for years).
One day I asked him why he wears those mask, come to find out,
he's a transplant recipient, takes lifetime anti-rejection meds,
I don't think, he's been worried about
spreading his "transplant",
as the reason he wears a mask.
just saying....
I have 4 masks, luckily friend gave them to me a few months back,
to wear when cleaning(heavy chemicals in cleaners, not good to breathe).
I wore one in W other day, my transplant friend wasn't at work,
I kinda doubt he's going out.
When return to car, take mask off, leave in trunk, sanitize/wash hands.
Once home, I spray the outside of mask first with some Lysol, then
stretch it over a slatted chair back, allow the UV sun rays, to help kill virus.
Few hours later, turn over, repeat. Sunlight can be excellent disinfectant.
You can make masks outta bandanas, strips of cloth, fabric, old clothes, etc...
Like with a bandana, lay it flat, and fold it over each other 3 layers(2 folds).
Put rubber bands, hair scrunchies, string(?), whatever, over each end,
then fold them ends, inward. Grab the rubber bands, put on face,
secure behind ears. May take adjusting. Can also put coffee filter over outer, for more protection.
NEVER touch your hands to the outside of mask, when out, if can help it.
Consider that side, the possible dirty side. If you got glasses, safety goggles,
I'd say, even better.
The hubby keeps telling me to get the respirators out...
wear one to the store...
I hope it ain't coming to that....
