Uh oh, I am like, TOTALLY at risk. Then again, I used "like" and "totally" in my response, so maybe I'm not as bad off as others here.

Maybe we could have a thread about stuff you can do at home to help yourself, in the absence of masks and gloves - which the health system lacks as well as first responders. There are Youtube channels to teach you how to make a mask on your own - out of paper towels, parchment paper, elastics and fastened with a stapler. It is not N95. But it is better than nothing. Something is better than nothing. People are smart, clever and inventive - especially creative ones who have an interest in music. There are others on YouTube - if you can sew - and free online patterns to make your own out of small amounts of fabric, old t-shirts that are multi-layered, and are probably useful to use to do errands, and essential going-out while on stay-at-home edicts. If they look that home made then maybe people will stay that 6 feet away from you! At least they know you take this seriously and not get close enough to sneeze or cough on your grocery cart. A lot of first responders have become infected for lack of personal protective equipment and volunteers are helping fill the gap - making masks at home. Yesterday I stumbled on a study about household salt soaked fabric which kills the virus in 5 minutes from a study in 2017. www.nature.com/articles/srep39956 We are all in this together. 🙏🏻

Those videos are from a part of Italy, we don’t talk that way at all. But that’s the image of Italy in the world... as always...
