Makes me mad to see people in the stores wasting medical grade surgical masks on themselves when the hospitals are running out of them. I said wasting because at least half of them don't have them on properly. How is a doctor going to treat you from six feet away because you wore his mask to go out and buy cheese curls?

Oh, you missed the fireworks. Several "medical" types, all very judgmental, stating that was CRAZY, no one would EVER use homemade masks.
If anyone wants the pattern, go to youtube and you will find it.
YES, they are not perfect, and YES I prefer all my fellow healthcare provider were NOT in this situation, but unfortunately it is the reality of the situation. I told them "lets revisit this in 2 weeks and see who is wrong"...unfortunately it did not even take two weeks.
LOTS of us older folks have sewing machines...so many of the younger generations don't...here is our way to assist. Thank you for being willing to be part of the SOLUTION.
