    i'm donating my masterpieces 😁i've learned a little sewing in Katteika class junior high last year my Grandma is still having migraines teaching me how to properly sew .i put sanitized gauze cloth inside the mask for disposal. only one use or handwash it with soap and water and iron it on high,same thing to do with the face mask itself .my production pace is two pieces a day .i have to play racing with my little brother in our backyard and i prefer experimenting in the kitchen to sewing
    btws,you make beautiful masks

    This woman is taking advantage of the coronavirus situation for money. As a nursing student I can say no proper nurse would promote the use of non medical masks to the public. It’s like using mittens instead of latex gloves. This will just give the buyers a false reassurance of protection to go out.

      while I don't agree that she's selling them for profit, I also don't think it's completely useless considering the lack of PPEs. something is better than nothing, but I would just donate them. tbf we're all unsure of what the future holds. maybe she needs the money for her family. I don't know, and I can't judge her. that's reality right now. 🤷🏻‍♀️

      @arisuzvezda1821 4 года назад +2

      Alexander Perez Yes I can know intentions because I know she is educated better to know these unsafe masks will just make the buyers feel invulnerable to the virus. If they were safe you would see all nurses and doctors promote buying homemade masks. You know what you are seeing? Nurses making videos on how unsafe improper glove usage can be. She didn’t even put a disclaimer for the buyers who don’t know that n95 masks are the only true masks that can protect you from the covid19 virus. I see a lot of the public walk around shopping with masks coughing around people thinking a non95 mask will do the job. So yeah don’t tell me if I’m not causing any good change for the world, to not critique her 😊. I can assure you helping save lives and informing the public about the dangers of non fda approved sanitizer being sold on the market is doing good change.

      You can't put out a fire by putting out some of the fire and just hope the rest of it will die off on it's own. You have to extinguish the fire everywhere and cut off anywhere it can spread.

Like I said the % goes down from n95's to other types of protection.

  • @chocochan7620
    @chocochan7620 4 года назад +2

    errm masks should use water resistant or waterproof material - that your respiratory droplets does not escape and infect others and protect yourselves from others. How is cotton going to do that?

    • @milomilo55
      @milomilo55 4 года назад

      The masks have to allow you to breath and I think the idea behind cotton is that it has a fairly tight weave while a poly-cotton blend is more water resistant so maybe a mask having one layer of 100% cotton for the tight weave and the 2nd layer being the poly-cotton blend for water resistance.
      Maybe spraying the outside layer with a scotchguard type spray for waterproofing....though I don't know if breathing that chemical would be ok.
