The required mask, N-95, is sold out.

Need more funny pics, I'd be tempted to plant my face there.
I am sure that would help with my breathing.

It’s not just old people who have to avoid grapefruit.

Grapefruit juice reacts with a whole host of drugs.

Antihistamines, corticosteroids, anti-anxiety meds, statins, blood pressure drugs, arrhythmia drugs.

It often seems like “what does it not react with?”

If you take any medicine and like grapefruit you need to make sure it isn’t going to cause problems.

That is because grapefruit is a natural detoxifier, and most pharmaceutical medicines are poisons.

The grapefruit makes sense-it is a natural antioxidant when eaten-don’t know about when worn as a mask, but maybe the acid in it is a virus deterrent...

I eat grapefruit and avoid drugs-it works great if you avoid processed food, eat organic, fresh food and get your carbs from veggies and fruits instead of bread and pasta...

I had a grapefruit for breakfast. Was disappointed it wouldn’t zest (beats paying the store price for something that’s free) but now it can be recycled as a mask.

These people can’t be serious. There’s a lot of air space around those masks. Wait until they mold and send you to the ER with something worse than the virus.

Guess they didn’t think of staying home.

I'm working out new and imaginative ways to take advantage of bras being worn as masks.

Do you prefer new or used?

Well it’s not about grapefruit but the sentiment is the same.

"warned that this greatly reduced the effectiveness"

Such medical mask only prevent particulates from directly entering the mouth and nose. These types of mask do not seal off the flow of air around the prerimiter of the mask to the face (air leakage).

They need half face respirators and safety glasses with binders.
