The usefulness of the mask is a function of what it is being used for. While a fabric mask can't block the spread of the virus, it can capture most of the spittle that one ejects when one speaks, coughs or sneezes which is the primary form of virus transmission. Especially for those who are forced to be in close quarters with others, it can help prevent the spread of the disease. And a close fitting mask of fabric is better than a bandana tied around the face. It protects others from the wearer rather than vice versa. But the more who wear it, the more community protection everyone receives. While I wouldn't recommend them for medical personnel who are forced to be in close quarters with infected people for hours a day, it is thought to be of benefit to the general populace. Q: What mistakes are other countries making? A: The big mistake in the U.S. and Europe, in my opinion, is that people aren’t wearing masks. This virus is transmitted by droplets and close contact. Droplets play a very important role—you’ve got to wear a mask, because when you speak, there are always droplets coming out of your mouth. Many people have asymptomatic or presymptomatic infections. If they are wearing face masks, it can prevent droplets that carry the virus from escaping and infecting others.Source

oklamoni, I am thinking that maybe since your name includes Oklahoma in it that maybe you are of that state and, possibly, even belong to one of the nations. Having acknowledged that fact could very well be true, I have to ask you just what fabric print is suited for native Americans? I was not aware that peopled who are descended from the tribes are any different in their preferences of such than are any other populations. I would be curious as to what you perceive that preference to be. Of course, some people do gravitate towards a print that speaks for them or about them. I am betting that those who belong to a tribe have much the same preferences as anyone else. Sports logos have always been popular and likely do appeal to more males than females in much the same manner as you see more males wearing sports figures t-shirts. You masks look to be well made and I do acknowledge your efforts.

Thank you all. The 2 camo masks are going to a friends police officer son. My DSIL sent me the Crown Royal bag to make into a mask for a friend. I had made 2 CR bags for another of her friends quite a while ago. The friends son came home from college and took them back to college with him. Mom was not happy with son!
