Handy to know-how to make mask

[*kazumi*]

If you cannot buy one, you can make one.  Apparently, in the USA even doctors use home made ones if they cannot get supply of the real thing.  Not the best, but better than nothing.

We're all in trouble if there's a run on pet food.

Having said that, my cat's pretty fussy and I tend to buy it when I see it.

Just counted.............I have enough for 10 weeks.

She's 16 yo, don't even know she'll last that long, poor fing.

Have I mentioned I'm almost a survivalist/prepper?

The masks people are using are not being taken out of hospitals; those on eBay and other places are coming directly from China.  The government can commandeer the whole import consignment if they need to.  And people protecting themselves could mean less people getting so sick they need to go to hospital.  All the countries that are managing to keep their numbers of cases relatively low have mandated wearing of masks.  I am sure there are other factors in play, but that is what they all have in common.

So lobby for the wearing of face masks while in public

I have to go to the hospital on the 14th, not some where I really want to go to.

I dont want to sit in their chairs or read their mags, I may have to look for face masks :0

Good idea about the masks, if in a hurry check online nearest office supply stores for N95 masks - almost all countries with flat curves mandate face masks in public
