Yes, but you’re not taking it for years, just a week or two.

I’ll take a temporary psychosis over a vent and death lol

Here’s a link with some good info on homemade, cloth face masks vs surgical and N95s....

Can DIY Masks Protect Us from Coronavirus?

https://smartairfilters.com/en/blog/diy-homemade-mask-protect-virus-coronavirus/

Based on studies done after the H1N1 spread.

I have a ton of cotton felt (Made in USA). Trying to find info on whether it can capture as much as the dish cloth (tea towels) can.

Still looking :- /

It’s being suggested to NOT use any vac bags/filters, as they can contain glass particles. :(

[RummyChick]

those are some crazy symptoms.

I think it is possible that

1. Fredo is getting the drug

so

2. It may cause those weird hallucinations

so

3. Trump might want to rethink taking it as a preventative

but

4. If I have Wuhan Flu I would rather hallucinate than die on a vent

I took it as a teen for a summer mission trip. It is a little “trippy” but I think some people are predisposed to having a bad reaction to one drug or another.

For example, I cannot take vitamin d3 in any form, except the sun. It makes me dizzy, faint and makes my hands and feet tingle.

What about the thicker cloth diaper fabric?

I’ve got giant bags of old cloth diapers still we saved to use in the shop.

[central_va]

Just pull a Depends™ over your head.

[Black Agnes]

We’re not old farts. No depends in the house.

You’ll have to use your stash for that.

[central_va]

Use a baby diaper then.

No babies either.

[Jane Long]

I would think the cloth diapers would work, but....they’re quite bulky, for around face.

I just read an article about how WWI soldiers would use their own urine, on gauze, as filters against certain gases.

Their provided mask filters weren’t working, so someone came up with this method, in the field.

Funny how 64 year old Gates has 3 kids who grew up in a 66,000 sq ft mansion and 3 other mansions along with all the toys and boats and cars and everything else that adds to his carbon footprint. Hmm, eldery, more than the allotted kids and a huge carbon footprint. Do as he says, not as he does.

[chris37]

Thank you, I appreciate those responses.

They went nuts over me posting that graph last night.

They are lunatics.

[Black Agnes]

The planet is his. We are the interlopers. If we could kindly sod off his planet....thx!

2. It may cause those weird hallucinations

So like, you're saying...

Biden was WAY ahead of the curve on this virus?

Whoa.

;-)

[bgill]

But, but Fauci and Debra keep telling us food is safe!

How many times are we going to have an ecoli outbreak in Romaine lettuce before people wake up to CV?
