Paper Face Mask

With the outbreak of the corona virus flu, face masks have become a common protection tool. Sad to say that the severity of the outbreak has made the common face mask become rare.



I'd say that a paper modeler have a solution for this.. and we could also do better.



Here is the link to a basic design. Let the creativity start....

I assume you're aware that making your own mask will do absolutely nothing to protect you from corona virus, other than occupy some of your endless free time during self-isolation.

Doctors have also said that the majority of people wearing the wrong face masks are also not protected, in fact the masks themselves are more useful if you have already contracted the virus, to help stop the spread.

But hey, whatever floats your boat and keeps you busy.

Paper masks may not do much to protect the healthy, but the infected should wear masks to limit the amount of virus laden vapors they expel through coughing, sneezing, or probably just by breathing. This easy paper towel mask is certainly better than nothing, and many folks weren't able to get masks before they were all snatched up by hoarders. Thanks for the link.
