Thanks.
how about a head scarf...bandana? if you don't have that, you can go on-line and order a couple of yards of cheap cotton fabric, the pattern is not an issue, from JoAnns. or call JoAnns and ask if you can buy a couple of yards of inexpensive cotton fabric for this purpose. You will need to cut squares that are large enough to cover your mouth and nose and to tie behind head. This is a minimalist face mask to be sure, but better than nothing if you were to sneeze after having contracted the virus but not yet symptomatic.
