No Time to Die... from COVID-19

[LynnInDenver]

Colorado extended the Stay At Home order until the 26th. Denver extended it to the 30th.

I made two masks for each of us from the National Jewish Health pattern. That used up some key supplies in my sewing area, I don't really have enough left to make any more complete masks.

...  Typical of what I've been fearing.  While they've asked people to try and make masks at home to save the 'really good ones' for medical personnel, the means to acquire the material?  Non essential.  Closed.

Brilliant thinking, governor.

To be fair, that's basically stock I had on hand in terms of swimsuit elastic (that I used for the straps as well as the bottom cinch elastic). I can probably make more if I need to, but it will involve making the straps at this point. But I take your point in general.

The masks are really just meant for venturing out of the house, so we effectively have enough. I do have a really good one - a 3M Respirator - but that one's been in the paint booth, and technically it's not for the intended purpose of keeping anything I may have from infecting others.

But those're great for Darth Vadering around the shop.

The point with the respirator is it doesn't keep my stuff in from everyone else - it's meant to filter the incoming while allowing the outgoing to leave "unmoltested". So it's technically not suited to the task of Outside Encountering anyway.
