Travis McGee has the really stylein’ ones, homemade using heap filter vac bags.

Tell me where he buys them. None of the new vacuums use paper bags and increasingly I'm having a hard time finding them for my old Bissel.

Use your pinky knuckle as that is the least likely to touch your eye.

Silliness. It is simple because there are not enough. Are we to believe that medical personnel have a dire need for them, bit for everybody else they are worthless?

They are pissing on our backs and telling us it’s raining.

Because normal people don’t know how to activate them to work properly, no magic touch, no “I Love Me” wall full of expensive degrees. Surgeon General needs to get back to the O.R. and leave us to our own N95’s or N100’s or nothing at all.

Funny how the countries with high mask usage have better flattened curves than countries with low or no mask usage.

Hey, he is right, you can make your own masks using heap filter materials.

Ordinary cloth will not keep viruses out -— they are 0.03 MICRONS in size. The rest of your instructions are good. Buy a high end furnace filter that will filter viruses, and remove the fabric from the frame. Use it instead of cloth. Staple, tape or sew a “tuck” in the sides to conform it to the shape of your face.

...germs can’t get out of the mask but can only come through.

Only applies to the soft bi-colored masks worn in medical settings, but my understanding is that wearing the blue side facing out protects the wearer and wearing the white side facing out protects the others.

ADDENDUM -— use MERV of 12 or higher.
