    I was saying stop freedom of movement from the EU post Brexit way before Covid-19, and I was also saying **** the Schengen because EU isn't a country so shouldn't be a single market like the US or UK is - can't deny with EU on lock down and countries going on lock down; seems like EVERYONE is Brexiting; which is stupid that UK seems to be hard up for supplies considering all the Brexit preparation and stockpiling that was meant to have taken place.

    Well this is really confusing. If the mask makes it difficult for the virus to go through, shouldn't it make it EQUALLY difficult for the virus to go through the opposite way?

    Isn't the N95 a medical mask?

    Ditto.

    Herself has told me that I really, really want to build her a workshop with glass firing kilns and drills and whatever. It will take me forever but knowing where I am headed will help.

    Thanks in advance

    Many anti pollution mask are N95. They have exhale valves that bypass the filter to minimize moisture buildup in the filter. I have one on order for my son in Korea.

    Well I don't understand how this could apply to the type of mask which can stop the virus pentrating. If there was truly "no added health benefit" to wearing masks, then why would medical staff wear them when looking after COVID-19 patients?

    If you have a face shield you can wear a far simpler mask and make it even yourself.
    My business is a essential business and had a advisor from the Health department. Faceshields I found in the Welding supply shop. I have one in my metal shop, so knew were to get them. Most face masks are made out of dense paper, which does not tear. Most have a fabric in the in them, preventing tear.
    Basically the same material is used in Scott shop towels. One has to layer it, at least 2 layers, best is 4 layers. Stapel it together and attach with stapels a elastic to it.
    Its primitive, but the advisor told me it works rather well. We have no masks available, everything is sold out.
    Except Shop Papertowels and Elastics in the craft section of Wal Mart.
    Now every of my employee has her/his visor. Mine, I have a sticker on it, its a beer bottle, with a lime and the decal of the beer bottle says corona under it virus.
    Humor is such a beautiful force of live

    Stay thirsty and please do not forget to laugh at live and its wild twists.

    That F14 is rather spectacular. I love those brute force planes and their variable wings geometry, 111 and Tornado B1 ( the original, before it got castrated ).

    You do a rather nice job,

    I'd love some P.P.E (personal protective equipment) new way of life right about now for the masses.
    Produce this for the government to give to the masses.
    Let's get industry working with the goverment for a change to benefit the populas.
    Everyone gets one, more lives and ways of life can be saved

    If it comes to it, yes.
    PPE is function over fashion; that said, I'd like to see the new summer line for 2020 (northern hemisphere summer) look a little more 'PPE' like.

    a hazmat suit in a human sized hamster ball/bubble? IDK; but if we're talking fashion, what's more PPE like? a functioning yet stylish hazmat suit, a designer hazmat suit for summer 2020, if you will.
