Cutting and stitching some quick DIY nose mask

avatar

Hello Hiveians

Since the advent of covid-19 every one has been using face mask until the rate of spread the pandemic subsided and I lost the habit.
Most times I leave the house and get to where I am going before it occur to me that am not on mask.
Am sure its same for most of us until the government had to make it compulsory we were finding jt difficult to mask on.

I lost all the ones I initially made and today necessity hits demand and I have to make a few more.

With just pencil paper tape and some fabrics I got this done.

Process.

Fold the paper into four and cut it all round 4.5 inches...

Better still cut a big even circle and split into 4 segments to form a cone as this

once this is done
Place paper on fabric and cut.

Next is stitching of both ends.

And final fixing of the bands about 8inches long, my bad, I forgot that shot. You can chose to use an elastic band but I was short of it so I improvised

Well this is done simple and easy diy .

Thanks for viewing

dr fauci now even recommended to wear 2 face masks, which i do my self as the health recommendations of the country i live in are still a bit too loose. i hope all is going to be fine anyway since the british variant of the virus has arrived this country and causes corona explosions in the sparsely populated areas it arrived few days ago, just after christmass corona wave went back down.

my home country however is a bit more stricter even enforcing F95 masks anywhere public.

hey i just remembered the sicklecell condition you mentioned once upon a time, and i was wondering if u have a vaccination appointment yet?
i saw that many in africa seem to be sceptical about the vaccine, to a point that for example in malawi they didnt manage to vaccinate all their doses, and then ended up burning the expired doses.
I believe most of the vaccines that arrived in Africa are astrazeneca, which happens to be the one i would be also getting within the next 2 weeks. Since many are sceptical about the vaccine, its probably easier for you to get a vaccine appointment.

Oh, I have never heard of a sickle cell vaccine. I will like to check online about any existing ones and if I will be possible to get some.

Anytime that care cure sickle cell is a good choice for me.
Am really tired of the pains and limitation.

Hope you have been good and your country side.

no there is no sickle cell vaccine since it is a genetic disease... but the sickle disease makes you at higher risk dying of corona virus. if you get vaccinated against the corona virus, even if you get covid, you are unlikely to die even at current mutations.

i assumed that since everyone talks about only the one vaccine these days you would know what i mean, but there are actually many other interesting vaccines currently being developed, and hopefully will come soon in the future, like malaria and hiv vaccines.

Oh now I get you.
Thank you sooo much.
I will ask around to see if we have the vaccine in the neighborhood, I will love to have a shot as well since it will boost my immune system and protect me well.

Thank you dear
