Sewing N95 Type Masks

Same here…I think atm anybody seen leaving the hospital with a mask he wasn’t explicitly allowed to take would be hunted down by a violent mob of hospital staff armed with bedpans and scalpels.
But joking aside, the Bundesärtztekammer ( German Medical Association) gave a statement a few days ago that , given the current situation the Outpatient medical care will be severely compromised due to more and more private practices having to close down because they run out of masks and other safety equipment. As far as I know the situation isn’t much different in other European countries :frowning: (don’t know that much about the situation in the US but I guess it’s not much different? ). So I think discussing alternatives like home sewn masks for areas where the risk of infection is less severe to save the few medical masks we have left is really important :).

The pandemic is still here so in case this helps anyone decide to wear a face mask, please watch.
