Good point.
Soz was about to post a question about exactly which public spaces are covered by tomorrow's face-mask mandate. I knew that people in shops (other than shop-staff) were obliged to cover up from tomorrow but had been told by colleagues that all indoor public spaces were indicated.I work in a large distribution centre and it seems that for the first time many colleagues will be arriving for their shift in masks tomorrow.I was wondering why nothing had been said on the subject by management.
Having just scooted off to catch the C4 news I see that my colleagues have it wrong.Its actually about shops,public transport and now also "transport hubs" by which,doubtless, they mean bus and train stations as opposed to distribution centres.
 
Okay. It just occurred to me. Why don't all these mask makers selling their self made cotton masks put some shower curtain layer at the back? was in the bathroom and thought: hang about, a shower curtain stops water from getting through, so it is perfect material to use as second layer. So, I have just ordered a spray on fabric glue. when it arrives, gonna cut off a bit of my old shower curtain and stick on the back of the cotton mask that I have at the moment.

Not a great Covid-19 mask :D but I still want it
 
I have little doubt that at my work-place we are tacitly being discouraged from wearing face-coverings/masks in part because of the scope that might afford us for the exercise of our imagination (as in Badger's post above).

According to this:


the best mask is

A team of researchers claims to have found the best materials for homemade face masks: a combination of either cotton and chiffon or cotton and natural silk, both of which appear to effectively filter droplets and aerosols

So I ebayed it and found:

 
The description of the masks includes “for stylish parties”. That made me laugh...party! I wish but to be fair it does say weddings too

So I ebayed it and found:

 
My gf bought a fancy patterned face mask online somewhere but didn’t check the materials properly - turned out it was made from costume material and she said she could barely breath with it on and was like a furnace on her face.

She’s now binned it.
 
Just purchased this on ebay. though the sides do remind me of a woman's panties, but I'll take it. silk and cotton combo

And another anti-mask crazy person in a grocery store:





In my world, I had a doctor's appointment. We're under a mandatory mask requirement where I live. A lady walks into the waiting room and refuses rather strenuously to wear a mask citing "health problems." The lady at the counter said, "we have an alternate waiting room for people who aren't wearing a mask." She opened the door to the children's playroom and escorted her in there. Act like a child go sit in the children's playroom.
