well, let me put my thinking cap on

Virus will stick to surfaces and each other from static charge. Poly is great for static charge - like a slip under a cotton dress, which got me thinking of...

Facing. The stiff stuff for plackets and cuffs. Maybe doubled if that’s breathable. I thought of facing because if you tear down a surgi mask, the middle layer is about as close to facing as you can get, just not as stiff.

Facing is fast drying, it will hold up to an alcohol disinfection bath or very hot soapy water soak, it’s flexible but stiff enough to stay in place inside the mask shell, it’s cheap, it won’t add bulk to the mask, it’s nonwoven so it can trap virus clumps, and it has an element of water repellence.

What do you think of facing instead of a third layer of cotton?

Queens high school assistant principal Joseph Lewinger has died of coronavirus. 42

He served as a teacher, basketball coach, and athletic director during his 20-year tenure at The Mary Louis all-girls private school in Jamaica. He was beloved by students.

This is one of the people the Flu BrosTM think should be out there working to support their retirement portfolios.
