How to Make Your Own Face Mask for Coronavirus Protection
The Healthy ^ | Apr. 09, 2020 | Denise Mann

Posted on 04/21/2020 4:04:12 PM PDT by Leaning Right

Here's how to make an expert-approved, do-it-yourself (DIY) face mask to limit the spread of coronavirus and protect yourself from Covid-19.

* snip *

First, fold a paper towel in half, White explains. Next, fold it like an accordion from side to side (see photos). Make a small fold at both ends of the paper towel where the rubber bands will be placed. Insert runner bands behind the fold and staple them in place at both ends.

Another plus: It’s disposable.

I went to the store today and wore one. I about suffocated and it was only 84 degrees out. They have to get this o er before summer, I can’t imagine what it would be like when it’s 115.

How many virus particles do they filter? What micron percentage?

That is irrelevant. The purpose of the mask is control. When sheep see other sheep wearing a mask they are naturally frightened and subjugate themselves for promised safety.

I don’t want to make my own mask. I want to distribute air tight plastic bags to leftists to use as masks.

> Didn’t WHO just announce that face masks are no good and could even make it worse for anyone? <

Yes. I read an article that said just that. So, no masks. But wait. Another article said that masks are vital. So, masks. And my governor said that anyone going into a store without a mask will be beaten senseless.

So what to do? I think I’ll just stay home and watch my ‘Coach’ DVDs. And I think I’ll keep my shotgun handy in case any unwanted visitors should stop by.

I saw a “tutorial” on how to make a mask out of old clothes and when he was showing it off, the mirror behind him showed he had cut it off his backside. It was pretty funny.

Some people say chloroquine works, some say not.

I split the difference by having gin and tonics.

With a slice of lime of course. Everybody's OK with a little Vitamin C.

Only way I would ever wear a mask is if I could find one that says “Horse” on its right side and “Schitt” (minus the “c” and one “t”) on its left side. :-)

Please be sure and clean these daily. Otherwise all you do is carry around lots of crap

At least the mask advertises “Hi, I’m a gullible moron!”.
