This was very interesting. I did research on this though because it sounded to good to be true. Depends on who you want to believe. The paper towel mask protects 100% against 1 micron size particle - the size of Ebola. Covid is .06-.14 micron particulates, so paper towels are approximately 36% effective. Just didn’t want anyone totally relying on this. The most important things still are washing hands, wiping down objects with sanitizing wipes, and social distancing and staying home as much as possible until Covid is totally under control and people stop dying. Please save our medical workers, first responders and other necessary workers.

Didn’t want to offend you. My daughter is a respiratory therapist and deals with the deaths every day so I’m a bit overly cautious listening to her real life stories from the front lines. Just want this horrible experience to be over with. Such a nightmare for all of us. 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️

you didn't offend me,i was thinking I should have checked on something so easy,I guess in a pinch and you have nothing else,something is better than nothing

Yes. And it satisfies the law. Also, helps to put inside cloth mask to stop steaming up glasses and keeps from having to wash the mask itself. That’s what I do. Disks up my dribble🤣
