Lol. YouTube already have how to make mask from paper towels. Or maybe we will be lucky and get rejected masks that were returned to China or rumored masks with Coronavirus on them.

Those masks are worthless when you factor the size of the virus compared to what the homemade masks can catch. With some fabrics is like not having anything at all but to some people it makes them feel better even tho they truly have no protection whatsoever.

If you're going to DIY them, 100% cotton batik is best.

If anybody is able to make masks, Etsy has been asking for them. May be a good income source. Here's an email from 4/3:

To the Etsy seller community:

As Etsy sellers, you know how important it is to adjust quickly to changing buyer needs. Right now, Etsy has become a destination for fabric face masks, which is leading to skyrocketing demand. While we don't know how long this spike will last, we know that we're on-track to exhaust available inventory.

That's where you come in. This is a moment for the Etsy seller community to come together, meet this unprecedented need, and help those around them. If you have the skill and materials, you can help-start making masks today.

Resources to help you get started:

• Tips for Selling Handmade Masks and Face Covers on Etsy
• There are many patterns available. Here's an example.

Important things to keep in mind:

• Set realistic expectations: It's critical that you meet your shipping estimates. Customers are counting on you to deliver these items on time.
• Ready to ship matters: It's hard to predict when a sale will happen, but try to have some inventory on hand so that you can ship the same day.
• Don't make medical claims: If a listing makes any medical claims, such as promising protection against the coronavirus, it will be taken down.

It's at a moment like this when we experience the true meaning of community: coming together as one to support those who need us. This is when being a community of makers makes all the difference.

We're all in this together,
Everyone at Etsy

There is also a how-to video on YouTube for making no-sew masks out of 24×24" cloth and two elastic bands or hair ties, for personal use.

Sorta pointless now.

I’m sure some ambulance chasing lawyer will sue them for not following the state or fed shut down order.

If you fold a blue shop paper towel in 3 and sew into a regular fase mask or surgica mask you will get almost n95 level filtration
