    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.

    Yes. What can we offer him as a bribe to get him to stay?

        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?

        I recommend (cheap) Scotch.

                    I didn't think so.

                      Depending on the season, I talking about regular summer or winter blend diesel. You know, the kind you run in heavy equipment

                                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.

                                    But the benefits go both ways. "We know now there's scientific evidence that masks both keep you from infecting others but may also partially protect you from getting infected," said Dr. Deborah Birx, the White House coronavirus task force coordinator. "I think that's a new discovery and a new finding."

                                          I'll bet that Karen thinks she's too cool to be a Karen.

                                          Education is extremely important.
