Don’t just worry - do something?

Lots of clever folks on this forum. I got interested in the supply chain issues with N95 masks cause I used to do Sourcing for 35 years or so. After wearing myself out reading stuff about non-woven melt blown fabric and the like, I came across folks who are trying to develop alternatives to the N95 masks which are in such desperately short supply. Here are a couple of links which might be of interest.

First, a serious proposal from a hospital on how to create effective masks from existing medical products not in such critically short supply

Now some stuff on the effectiveness of substitute masks

On down to sewing machine produced substitute masks

And for the non-mask wearers - this Facebook site on all kinds of innovation in making and using personal protection equipment to counter CV19

Rick with More timely and informative links---thanks, it makes it easier than having to wade through countless webb sites.

I do deleading and wear a respirator a lot, it keeps lead dust and dust from the horse hair plaster we rip off the wall, anybody know if this is better than a N95 masks , those N95 masks look like they can leak around the edges, and that's why I don't use the regular paper masks, thanks
