When I get my shop fully outfitted, it’s going to be like walking into a time capsule. LOL

CDC - Strategies for Optimizing the Supply of Facemasks - Health care professionals to use homemade masks as a last resort. - March 17, 2020

Hey....while we’re all at home, self isolating, we can sew homemade masks, for our HCW.

Someone posted a pattern, a while back.

I think someone else said that felt was a good “filter” insert, in emergencies.

Is there a quilting or sewing forum, on FR?

[dfwgator]

On top of the corona virus.

And record-low oil prices.

One of my (dark triad) extended family relatives (not the ‘i’ll get my milk and you can’t stop me’ relative) has bragged about not really prepping, he’ll just take what he needs...

I love split pea soup.

The rest of my fam....not so much :- /

My husband volunteers giving financial counseling for people at his church. He doesn't give me specifics but he says you wouldn't believe it.

100k, 200k in credit card debt, less than 1k in savings, not abnormal.

People at Amazon in Dallas today getting onboarded for employment. Very encouraging, is it not?

[LilFarmer]

By the way, are local governments checking our water supply for the virus? I know normal treatment should kill CV, but still...

[metmom]

Just help himself to yours?

Or stealing from the stores?
