“…there are not enough masks for everyone…Here, therefore, DIY could come into play: following some precautions, anyone can create a homemade mask, always considering that homemade masks have reduced effectiveness but are still useful as a last minute remedy”

“Coughing and sneezing, but also breathing and speaking, scatter what are called droplets, micro-drops of saliva, which in the case of powerful sneezing can easily reach a meter away, which could contain the virus inside. For this reason, it is important, first of all, to stay at home, if this is not possible then you must keep your distance and wear masks. In fact, these block most of the droplets greatly reducing the risk of infecting someone…The issue becomes more complex, however, when one takes into account that there are asymptomatic people who are infected with the virus but do not know it, so it may make sense for anyone to wear a mask when going outside.” Article Link: https://magazine.impactscool.com/en/scienza-e-medicina/dalla-repubblica-ceca-una-lezione-sulla-mascherine/
