How to make yr own coronavrus mask--this is only for "casual use" Med professionals need better protection.


This template will be a better fit.

I tried (nylon) scarves, but slippery and tend to slip off.

This design has curved nose seam.

I just made mine of pure cotton, finished is 4 1/2 by 11 inches.

Old clean sheets, T shirts are very comfortable to use.

I put on 4 "ribbons" or stitched ties, each abt 12 inches long.

the top 2 ties should be level with the tops of yr ears.

The bottom 2 ties with the bottoms of yr ears.

I just cut off the seams of runner I cannibalized and used those.

Cut piece 1/2 inch extra all round.

Sew:  lay 2 pieces face to face

Look in mirror and mark level of ties with pencil.

lay 2 ties each side INSIDE the face to face pieces, sew sides shut with sewing machine.

That will secure the ties.

Turn mask inside out, pull out corners.  Try it on, ties go behind yr head.

The template design may be a better fit due to curves, but I have made mine my way.

Make about 4 masks per household member.

After each use (say each time you go to market) when you get home, sterilize in assigned pot you keep for each person, bringing to a ROLLING Boil for maybe 10 mins.  You can do this on a hot plate.  Don't sue pot for anything else.

Hang to dry on clean line--store dry masks in a new ziplock bag.

It is best for each person to have his or her own fabric--eg. pink is Kyi's, C's is blue stripes etc-- and not to boil them together.

I hope this helps.

I will test mine tomorrow when I take out trash and do my laundry.

It's more secure fit than scarves.  If you want better fit use the templates wh are in 3 sizes incld children's

best

Andrew Cuomo's daily corona briefing, Matilda's Law. "Love needs to be smarter"


No wonder his name sounds familiar, his father was Mario Cuomo and his brother is Chris Cuomo.

He is starting Matilda's Law named after his mother, bc his mother went to his other brother's house 2 times since 2 weeks ago,

and NY has largest # of corona cases now.

Temp hospitals in Central Park and Navy hospital ship is there now, but they are still short of supplies.

Coronavirus--what to do with the food you bring home--

Whole Foods is going on strike tomorrow--as is Insta Cart.

I just went to Whole Foods today, just now.

Here is Jeff Van Wingan on how to sterilize your food, incld washing each fruit in soap and water.  Wiping down outside of frozen food (plastic) with antiseptic.  Microwaving food bf you eat is good.

Freezer is not safe bc viruses live in cold for centuries.  I suggest you open a Twitter acct and follow accts like Now This.

Twitter is very fast with news, not for jibber jabber and showing off.

My 2 novellas, Band of Flesh and 53 Red Roses--

https://www.amazon.com/Band-Flesh-53-Red-Roses/dp/1507888627

Dr. K.M. Kaung was finishing her dissertation on totalitarian systems when she read about the hostage crisis in Lebanon at that time, and wrote Band of Flesh, about Ying, one half of 2 conjoined twins who yearns desperately to be free. Donna Lee Woods has been going along with her US diplomat husband to many countries, until he gives her 53 red roses, and suddenly, she cannot take it any more. Explore here with Ms. Kaung the quiet desperation of many human lives that are outwardly content and comfortable, till they reach the breaking point.

Trump lies and people die


he's now well past 26,000 lies in nearly 4 years.

That does not count lies he told before 2017.  Don't take chances and believe him and get reckless unless you wish to die and pass on virus to others.

Quote--how to handle the coronavirus


https://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2020/03/09/pandemics-coronavirus-aids-flu

On his one piece of advice to the United States to handle the coronavirus
“I think the first thing that makes all of the other measures possible is accepting reality. This is something that is real and important, and we can do something about it if we accept the science of it and mobilize and share our resources and not think that we can block it by false measures like bans and national barriers and all the rest of it. Because coronavirus does not respect national borders or wealth or any of those things that we like to tell ourselves are bulwarks of protection.”

Trump not tested for coronavirus even though in contact with self-quarantined republicans on AF 1

and at CPAC
