When we visited Japan DS bought a cool face mask in black because it made him look like a character from Splatoon. Now he is laughing, because he has a good mask.

It makes sense to me. If both you and your grocery cashier are wearing masks, that's two extra layers of protection against transmission, even if it's not perfect.</p> <p><b>Classically Casual,&nbsp;</b>we just need to look to Asia where they've been doing this for years!</p> <p><b>lisap,&nbsp;</b>pretty hard for me to be cool under any circumstances.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>notsaf,&nbsp;</b>ooh! that tutorial is great. &nbsp;As it turns out, I have a new bandana coming today--a beautiful hand-dyed silk one from a local maker.&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://ozmaofcalifornia.com/products/1930s-bandana-black-1">https://ozmaofcalifornia.com/p.....na-black-1</a>&nbsp;Perhaps I'll give it a shot.</p> <p><b>UmmLila,&nbsp;</b>in this case, the goal isn't really medical-level protection. &nbsp;I think it's more a shot in the dark at reducing asymptomatic transmission in the community.</p> <p><b>rachylou, </b>No N95s, but&nbsp;I<b></b> actually have a stash of half a dozen or so surgical masks in our emergency supply. &nbsp;It's fewer than our local hospitals will even take as donations, but I'd feel like a chump wearing them outside and appearing to be siphoning resources from healthcare providers. We do have a leather plague doctor mask from the Renaissance Festival.

And they’ve been saying it’s coming up here too. They told us at work to take the one we use at work home - wear it all day! One a day to stretch our supply.</p> <p>They’re of course all sold out. On the radio they were saying wear your disposable until you can’t breathe through it anymore... not too sure about that as a standard. </p> <p>I was thinking about getting the old sewing machine out. We have a box of N95 masks actually, for fire season, but we’re donating them to Children’s Hospital. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-real-apocalypse-fashion#post-2111142 Thu, 02 Apr 2020 16:19:57 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2111142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw a facebook ad that was for fancy masks with rhinestone lips, vampire mouths and other things. $40 each.
