Some of the cloth masks are really thin, the ones my manager bought for us are practically see through so they don't offer much protection. If the masks you ordered have a filter pocket then there are various things you can use to add an extra layer of protection.
Yes, I looked for a triple-layered mask option. Best to get a good one, I think we'll be needing them for some time now. Hopefully it'll do the job ok. (The mask edict was just announced today. I'll be interested to see what steps the state govt takes to ensure they're available for the entire city by Thursday.)
BT- seconding using bandanas until proper masks can be obtained. Make sure it's doubled up over your face. At least they are cotton and super easy to wash!
It's no drama, if I really need one Biyi has a clean spare I can borrow. (Indeed I'd find it easier to lay my hands on a mask than a bandana.) I'm able to work from home and Ryan will be studying remotely - and I've got hold of a couple of new David Attenborough specials - so I've very little need to leave the house right now anyway. (Currently watching: Seven Worlds, One Planet. The North America episode!)

We really liked that series, though maybe not quite as much as Planet Earth.
There's too much light pollution to see Neowise with the naked eye where we live, but there was a man at the waterfront who had set up a telescope and was letting folks look through it. It was extremely cool.
Somebody here recommended hand washing your mask when you come in and are washing your hands and that's what we've been doing. AIFG. Having lots of masks helps.
Ugh I'm in a fight, I guess, with one of my best friends on how I responded to a relative of hers on Facebook and it's really put me into a pit of despair. I'm having a pretty terrible weekend, tbh, and I feel like it's all my fault.
Timelies all!
Very hot here. Well, it is July...
I'm sorry you're having a tough weekend, lisah. It's hard for me to imagine you could be too much at fault.
I cannot seem to make myself do anything today.
There's still more today left, maybe I'll be able to get something done at some point, but so far, no.
Ugh, I'm sorry, lisah, and agree with -t.
I went to the farm market (driven by my mother) and supermarket (walking) and the walking was a huge mistake.
If anyone is looking for custom made masks, the Madwoman in the attic is offering hers through Etsy. They fit really well, and the elastic straps with clips means they're more comfortable than regular masks. [link]
Oh wow, those look great.
