Coronavirus 3M N95 mask DIY

As WHO announced Coronavirus Global Health Emergency, it's not WHO lost faith in China (because Chinese gov is really acting fast and effectively on it). But for lower income countries and regions, if it became a outbreak, it could be very difficult to contain.  I'm relieved to see that at least the world is in alarm now and institutes and organizations are trying their best to prevent. 

3M, N95 masks are going to be out of stock eventually everywhere in the world, especially considering the fact that most masks are made in China. But mask is mask, just a layer to block virus, it can totally be made by yourself. 

Things to know: 1. People can get the virus from their eyes,  2. It requires a hard layer to block it.

So the essense is a layer of plastic (when you sew a mask yourself, add a layer of PLASTIC in the middle), either you make it into a mask or a cup to cover your head. 

In this photo, my friend who is working as a doctor made this head cover out of file folder. He disinfects the cover and his hands with 75% alcohol every few hours. 

May we all overcome.
