A double layer homemade mask with laters of paper towels between layers would be efective as would HEPA paper from a vacuum cleaner bag.

2 surgical masks with pater towels or HEPA between.

Best way to disinfect is to air dry for 48_72 hours.

Hang it behind window glass that gets sun.

Cut the big end off of a 2 liter soda bottle after removing the label.

Place mask in the bottle and place in sun. (

Should do the trick.

What mystifies me is how unprepared for this people were.

Hospitals running out of masks and PPE? They weren't prepared for something they knew was eventually coming?

There's only a small percentage of hospitals hit hard with this and since all elective procedures are cancelled most hospitals shouldn't be using any more than normal.

Oh, and Remington offered to make PPE for NY but Fredo's brother hates guns so much he said "No thanks!.

He only hates guns unless they're carried by his bodyguards.

Actually the test is bogus.

None of the masks made out of the material suggested will ever be snuggly worn on a face.

And unless they are sealed against the face, the more they trap, the harder it is to get air through them, and the more air will just come AROUND them.

THIS is why these masks are ineffective. Sure, clamping them down on a hose will limit what gets to the hose. But not if the hose can pull air around them.
