I started making masks, since proper masks are scarce.  I'm using the pattern our local hospital prefers.  The CDC keeps wavering on whether cloth masks help prevent the spread of the virus, but suggested using a bandana or scarf if a surgical mask was unavailable.  Most hospitals seem to agree a homemade mask like this is better than a bandana.  This design has a wire for the nose, and the ties allow you to pull it tight around your face.  I have quite a bit of cotton fabric around, and my husband found some thin copper wire which works perfect.  Now I just need time from homework to get more made.
