mint Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 What a nice surprise that the cost is affordable[:D]We don't have the throw-away ones because we are trying to cut down on our rubbish. We do have washable ones with a pocket into which I insert a thick piece of kitchen roll. Don't know if it works but it does feel different, not actually harder to breathe but you have to wear it for about 15-20 minutes before you get used to it.With no vaccination in sight for us, I am following closely all the coronavirus news. So thank you to all those posting about this as and when new info arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardengirl Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Excellent news! We have a range of fabric masks with several layers which we wear on our daily walks just in case we find ourselves close to others on our daily walks.For medical appointments and when we have to collect medication from the pharmacy, the only other time we go out, we wear those blue ‘medical’ masks, as I feel that the least we can do is to wear the same as the nurses/doctors wear.

alittlebitfrench Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Why not just double mask. Blue one under and a fabric one over ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idun Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Yes, two masks, I have heard Dr Faucci in the USA say that doubling masks is good way to do it.I wear a mask and a visor, that feels right to me, and being a spectacles wearer, am getting used to walking around in the fog![Www] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idun Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I am wondering where people will be able to procure these masks, as for all 0.44cents a mask sounds amazing.The people selling them have to be paid, and the businesses have all their charges too, so how does this work then, or are they french government sponsored, if it says that, I missed it, sorry.

mint Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I have ordered some mask liners from Amazon. 5 layers and apparently can prevent microscopic particles, etc; can't remember what all the layers were for. Only thing is, it takes about 3 weeks to arrive....probably from China, I imagine, and they should know about masks by now, don't you think?[:-))] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
