Obviously I can't sew and since I can't go to anybody who can this is a good solution. I did fashion a mask from a Biker Skull Caps Motorcycle Bandana Head Wrap Du Doo Do Rag, although getting it tied one-handed was pretty hard.
This from a friend is much easier although donning it one-handed might be a challenge.
Notice the two hands needed, ask your doctor what the hell you should be doing for this problem.
From Joseph G. Allen, assistant professor of exposure and assessment science, at the
Washington Post,
“You need to wear a mask. Here’s how”:
…
Now let’s talk about the right way to use masks:
Each person in your home should have a mask — absolutely no sharing.
The mask should cover the bridge of your nose and cup your chin.
There should be two straps, one that goes above your ear, and the other below
How to put it on and take it off — what we call donning and doffing in
my field (yes, those are the terms we use) — is also important. To put
it on, use one hand to hold the outside of your homemade mask and put
the top strap over your head, followed by the strap that goes below your
ear. To take it off, don’t touch your mask, which could have infectious
particles on it if you came into contact with someone infectious.
Instead, take it off using the two straps.
If you make one mask, wash it daily.
If you make multiple masks, place the recently worn one in a bag and
set it aside for five days (there shouldn’t be any virus left after that
time). Wear a new one each day.
- Wash your hands when you’re done
