    1. Yes! Used or new, a coffee filter works great. The coffee neutralize the virus and enhance es the breathing.

  1. Wow homemade masks! Time for some arts and crafts home quarantine edition! Happy mask making everyone 🙌💯😷🧶

    1. @Allan Gregory The government needs to supply the people who really need them first. The workers in infrastructure, in transportation, in healthcare and in retail, etc. Private people are of the least concern when it comes to mask distribution. If we lose the essential workers, EVERYTHING collapses. And that means a single one of those. Lose energy, lose everything. Lose medical staff, lose everything. Lose food providers, lose everything. Etc etc.

    2. LowStuff You are not Africa, are you telling me theUSA can’t make enough masks for everyone? Yes they can in fact they are buying them by the millions at the tax payers expense, having the USAF fly them into the USA at the taxpayers expense, selling them to the highest bidder on the open market who then sells them to the governor of the state that bids the highest so the tax payer pays twice, the corruption in your country is off the scale 🇺🇸💩💵

    3. @Allan Gregory “are you telling me theUSA can’t make enough masks for everyone?” – Yes. With the production capabilities and machines are they are now, simply yes.

  2. What- these bandanas are going to make us look like we’re looting the grocery store. I’m just gonna wear my Darth Vader helmet.

  3. I LOOVE Dr. Gupta’s tutorials and calm reassuring voice through all this. Please keep posting more CNN and Dr. Gupta please keep us updated on how to adjust to this new normal under corona.

  4. Where masks EVERYWHERE!!!! In South Korea if you don’t wear a mask people will call you out for endangering others. Even waking in the park alone, people will tell you to wear a mask

    1. Jennifer Erickson How is this racist? Is it not part of Asian culture? And can you point me in the direction of any data that suggests wearing a mask when walking alone outside is beneficial to anyone? Perhaps it calms the minds of irrational ppl who have trouble thinking for themselves.

      Hard to tell if you are a troll or just a toxic fuckwit.

    2. @maremacd Absolutely. Just don’t take that fecal fetish idiot “Jennifer Erickson” seriously. She has severe mental issues, as everyone can clearly see.

  5. Over the past 2 weeks, I’ve learned so much about this pandemic and related issues, much of it directly from nurses. First and foremost, if you’re sick with symptoms not relative to COVID-19, don’t let your fear of contracting the illness outweigh your common sense. Three weeks ago, I agonized (literally) over a decision “to go or not to go” to the hospital, and inevitably went on April 2. I’m still here, with a large duodenal ulcer, improving, and totally safe from the virus due to great quick screening and illness segregation in a Connecticut hospital. Kudos to Governor Lamont AND to the wonderful medical community for keeping us safe. ❤

    1. How fun! Just likd we learned about the Electoral College three years ago, and learned about impeachment thanks to the democrats. What joy!

  6. Anderson… image of “your” mask from the 70’s when you were a kid? Seriously??
    How about the 50’s as when I was a kid. We would watch black/white tv shows such as Buffalo Bob w/ Howdy Doody which is more in line with pattern/image of mask.
    Btw, Rachel is my favorite CNN star w/ close second of HBO John Oliver. You and Jon Stewart bring up third which is not too shabby for company!! 🐈

    1. @RFI-Crypto Lab what i wonder is how it is determined that it saved his life many have been affected and most have recovered without taking tat drug

  7. Loved Sanjay in the movie Contagion. Especially the scene with L.Fishburen. Talking about a virus. Great scene.🙋

  8. Where can I buy some real N95 masks? Been to every Home Depot nearby found nothing left. I read an article yesterday saying homemade masks aren’t reliable, I don’t trust these home-made mask!

    1. @Arron Smith Oops, during this lockdown I have been touching myself a lot and not always washing my hands.

  9. US government:
    N95 masks – Not enough
    Chinese KN95 masks – Not qualified
    Homemade masks – Yes yes yes!

    1. the mask isn’t intended to protect u from outside. The idear is when 99% of the people wear the mask the asymptomatic patients can’t infect other unknowingly.
