Somehow my post did not post. My message was if you live in a county or country that has care centers, I can recommend a pattern my friend is using to make dozens of DIY mask. The material should be cotton but could be a blend, twist ties or pipe cleaners to insert in the mask to shape to then nose, The best pattern is the pleated style, with ties, since elastic is disappearing off the shelves. we have no hospital in my county, but have a 100 bed care center/nursing home, and they will be out of mask in 4 to 5 days and orders for more are backlogged for two weeks. Hospital orders will be filled first for acute care of patients with the virus and first responders.
