Who Was That Masked Man?

This looks interesting. Anyone know any reason why it won't work? [Watch]

It certainly seems a lot less labor-intensive than the other DIY alternatives I've seen.

Just don't wear one in Virginia. Northam's pretty strict about the mask styles he approves.

Professionals at my alma mater advise reading this guide:

Construction of a mask is only one problem. Followon problems include reliable methods of sterilization for reusability (sunshine and UV CPAP sterilizers are both recommendations), learning proper donning/doffing technique to prevent virus from contaminating the backside, and snug side fit. There are no easy shortcuts.

I am of the opinion that even an imperfect mask is better than nothing, provided that it makes nothing else worse. To this end, resist letting the “security” of a homemade mask tempt you into going places or doing things you would not do if you had no mask… a principle that people who carry should have already adopted.
