    Actually, just soak your home made cloth mask in diesel before and after you wear it. That will surely protect others from any viruses that happen to escape through your mask. Diesel will also protect you from others spraying viruses in the direction of your face.

    Works perfect!
    Makes my eyes water a bit, but other than that, I don't even draw flies anymore!

    So glad Renauda is back. Allows us all to take things seriously again.

      Dr. George, I reckoned that would give you pause. As I already stated, a thorough wash and rinse in the laundry however would more than suffice. Maybe a dash of cleaning vinegar wouldn't hurt either?

                                        How many times does it need repeating? The mask is to stop you infecting other people, not to stop you getting it.

                                        I was only joking

                                          I think at least one more time. LOL

                                          However, I do believe that wearing a mask is in teh right direction to prevent you from getting it also. Not 100% effective in any way, but maybe it is 5% (or 10%), etc. I think of it kind of like having a screen on your windows. Will it stop every bug? No, but it will stop some. Not perfect, but in the right direction.
