Surgeon General, Dr. Jerome Adams, shares ways to create your own face covering in a few easy steps.

I saw one made with a bandana and a coffee filter (inside the folds)...then, just tie the bandana end, on back of head.

[jimfree]

I have about 50 bandanas. Quite a few of them would go well with one of my western hats to bring home the train robber look.

Sorry, I’m not a Bandito or an Antifa twat.
It’s not Halloween and it would be a sin to deprive
the world of my bright, brilliant and inspiring face.

There are hundreds of patterns and/or tutorials online — mostly free. I only saw one, on Etsy, that costs anything.

Also, a tip I read that makes sense is to use batik fabric if possible. It’s much more dense so fewer cooties can get through.

Just duct tape your t-shirt over the top of your nose.

I just take a couple wraps around my head with toilet paper and attach the end with duck tape.

Ah man....I always wanted to be a drover and use that bandana in a dust storm. And then I saw a show where they wintered with their herd. It was hell.

I decided to just marry rich. Alas...that didn't happen either.

... it would be a sin to deprive the world of my bright, brilliant and inspiring face.

This is probably more your style, HG...:)

Cut an old bra in half. Good for Monday and Tuesday

Nothing new here. Bandits have perfected mask-making since before the wild west days.

Better still, if this Chinese virus is so frightening a homemade mask just won't cut it ... I suggest wearing a burka to achieve the total body experience of a portable security blanket.

I said, give me all your TP. And please don't make me say it again. It's embarrassing.

Re Etsy. There are many entrepreneurs out there making home-made masks available.

[jjotto]

There are also a lot of organizations with 3D printers making face shields and other medical items.

You can make a face mask without sacrificing your sense of fashion:

She looks like she is in the mood for a little romance.

I’m not covering my face. My sinuses are always swollen, so I breathe through my mouth a lot. I used nasal spray for 30 years, and got hooked on it, and will never go back to that again. I use saline spray, but only moisturizes, it doesn’t reduce the swelling. I have to use nasal strips at night to keep my nasal passages open, because I also have a deviated septum. I wear glasses, and since I breathe through my mouth, I’m betting my glasses would get fogged up when my exhale is forced up through the top of the mask. No thanks. I’ll take my chances massless.

I made one that is absolutely CCP-19 proof.

Heavy duty Glad trash bag and some duct tape. Ain’t nuthin’ gettin’ through that sucker.

My buddy said I’m over looking something, but I can’t figure out what it is.
