With my luck the store will think it’s a robbery and 2 staten island cops will shoot me dead.

Is his a great time to rob stores or what?

I have a box of masks. I got them for wearing when I mow the lawn when it is dry. I just got to wondering if they would do any good.

After reading the list of things it is not meant for, it appears they aren’t any good for anything.

Better yet, cut your wife's old bras in half and use rubber bands to put them over your face.........They're re-washable too........

Just thinking out of the box can do wonders....but don't even wander into athletic supporters.

Very workable DIY mask

I have a long white chef apron. I cut it in piedes to size. Use sneaker shoelaces in holes poked through. Then I tape two large gauze pads to inside of mask tie upper and lower laces behind. Take off spray with Lysol and hand to dry.

Stick some silver biotics gel in your nose and your ears. I use the liquid in my eyes, too. (Sidebar. . .helps me see better as well) I gave a tube to a guy who does some work for me who had a cold about 5 months ago. . . .I gave him the same advice; however, my instructions should have been more detailed. I found out later, he squirted the tube up his nose rather than applying with a q-tip. I told him it probably helped with what ailed him.

Here’s a cute solution:

I'm retired, live alone, and only go out once or twice a week to the store to get what I need. I wash my hands once I get home, and wash them again after I put my groceries away. I spent 25 years in uniform working in NY State's prison system without ever wearing a mask...all during the HIV outbreak, and any other disease that came and went. Never got sick once. No need for a mask now.

My friends told me to use hand sanitizer. Hell, I run to the bathroom every half-hour to forty-five minutes, and wash my hands every time after I'm done. Who needs hand sanitizer, only to have to wash it off every time my bladder whines?

I have a big box of unpowered latex gloves that I use when I'm separating meat for freezing, or doing food prep for the holidays. Wearing those gloves while peeling potatoes keeps the starch from the potatoes drying out my hands.

Nope. Won't protect you. A virus is far, far smaller than dust particles. You either need a REAL (not workshop special) N95-rated mask OR a CAPR/PAPR.

But if you want a false sense of security, go right ahead.

I hear silk panties also work...
