Re: Have you purchased a Face Mask?

Face masks are a cinch to make yourself. If the fabric is thin or you want to be super safe, insert a folded coffee filter in the area covering nose/mouth. Just fold a scarf/kerchief into a triangle and tie behind your head. To get fancy, you can google instructions how to fold the ends over a rubber band to go over your ears. I've made many...no sewing needed.

No, and don't intend to unless that is yet another thing forced on me.

@Sapphiregal, putting the mask issue aside for a moment, what exactly would have been your recommendations to the public regarding this pandemic, given that you seem to feel so put out?

@suzyQ3 Not speaking for everyone, but many people think this whole thing is bs. Not me but I know people who do unfortunately.

I've ordered a few but haven't received them. All my amazon orders are weeks behind. I haven't gone anywhere but if I were to venture out, I'd wear a mask. If the public good is at stake, I'll do what's right.

My sister made a bunch and gave me two of them. I won't wear one though. I don't think they are very effective and I would feel like I am suffocating. I stay away from people as best I can, hold my breath occassionaly, and don't touch my face. I always wash my hands when I get back to the office or home.

My DH on the other hand is coordinating his many bandanas with his T-shirts every day. He looks like he is going in to rob a bank when he goes out, and it cracks me up.

If only everyone felt this way.

I found a box of 20 face masks I bought 10 years ago when I was painting. Never did use them until now.

Due to my husband having an amputation procedure last year, we have gloves and masks. A daughter is also making masks for all of her friends who need them, and can’t find or can’t afford them.

However, at this time, I don’t plan to wear either. I’ve been out 1x since the stay at home order was given here in WV, and outside of a fast food run, I don’t plan on being anywhere that requires me to wear a mask and gloves.
