Sewn cotton mask reduce spread of droplets when coughing to about 2.5 inches - while they travel over 3 foot far without a mask.
Single layer masks like the cheap ones you can buy in some shops are not very efficient when it comes to contain droplets.
I'm on a short family break at the moment, but I'm taking preorders of 2 and 3 cotton layer masks. I have non-woven material to add to the 2 cotton layer masks too.

Without a mask, droplets produced during coughing can travel up to 12 feet. With a mask, this distance is reduced to just a few inches.

Finished up 5 family orders today!
Did you know how large your nasal cavity is compared to your mouth? It's massive!
When wearing a mask, visualise the depth of it and how the air streams in when you inhale and softly streams out when you exhale. Sense the space from the nasal cavity to the trachea when breathing too. You will be able to breathe better without restriction that way while you wear your mask. Try it out!

Couldn't help myself!
One of my favourite play things from childhood was my dad's pantone colour scales. I could match these fabrics with my postcards!

The most popular question since 'When will I be back playing?'?

Should people wear a face mask during exercise: What should clinicians advise?

I wonder what would happen to the endless cycles of respiratory infections if we would wear masks like in Asian countries - out of respect and care towards our fellows?

Masks are going to be compulsory on public transport in Ireland (finally!)
If you're looking for washable cotton masks rather than buying a pack of 10 disposable ones, pm me!
2 or 4 fabric masks are much cheaper over a few weeks usage and don't create the same waste. I will have double layer cotton ones with disposable filters to slide in soon too.
