^I'm not seeing any news out of Montreal this week about gang violence - hispanic or otherwise. Is there something you could link to?

Mister SimonNZ not all news are reported it depend if you live in a trashy part of town , and it's not me having problem of any sort but my friend paranoia over seeing too much ms 13 or ms 18 in his neighborhood and perhaps the facts his bike got stolen, he blame them for this...

As for me I haven't no problem I mind my own buziness that it,  I mention this because he freaking out...I'm not, perhaps I did panic because of him in turmoil his neighborhood though now...

I think our friend lives in an alternative world. Today's Montreal Gazette: https://montrealgazette.com/. Not a word about that kind of thing. I should know, being a montrealer myself.

     Chinese families should be sweeping graves now. But thousands still haven't buried their dead.

Using photos posted online, social media sleuths have estimated that Wuhan funeral homes have returned 3,500 urns a day since March 23. That would imply a death toll in Wuhan of about 42,000 — or 16 times the official number. Another widely shared calculation from Radio Free Asia, based on Wuhan's 84 furnaces running nonstop and each cremation taking an hour, put the death toll at 46,800.

Hopeful news from Denmark: Researchers in Denmark are starting to test a promising drug in #covid19 patients, barely a month after research appeared showing the drug could stop the virus in cell culture.

This is a drug, made some years ago in Japan, for the treatment of heartburn and pancreatitis. Its name is Camostat Mesylate. The investigators in Aarhus think they will have a usable answer about whether it can be used against SARS Co-Vi 2 or not in three months.

My wife is making them. Same model as the surgical ones, with an inside slit allowing to insert a filter (coffee filter, towel paper, swiffer sheet). Embroidered initials added to avoid confusion  ;D

Neat! Metal nose piece included or not?

No, fabric only. This is home made stuff, after all  ;).

It's one thing to make your own masks, but there is a value in not getting TOO artistic...

I was guessing not!   ;) It did cross my brain though if I could make something like that with what I had at home.

If you wear a mask treat it as a danger. If it has done anything useful then it has virus on it. Don't touch the working surface. Be careful where it goes. Wash or dispose.

Yes, a mask thoughtlessly used might do more harm than good. Probably the best thing an improvised mask does is remind you not to touch your face, and remind others to maintain their social distance.

In my town I saw a hippie type walking down the Main Street singing while wearing a retro-looking gas mask with two metal filter canisters. Looked like it was designed for mustard gas.

Bring back those 17th century beak masks, I say.

6 ft beaks.

Although if we each wear one, maybe a 3ft beak might do.

+1 on that. "Know me by my beak".  :)

My wife has also started cranking out masks just this morning, for our family and a few local friends.

For the past 25+ years, my wife has made the same Christmas present for both my father-in-law and me -- each year she makes us each 3 pairs of boxer shorts, in the craziest, loudest, most amusing fabric she can find.  She has lots of bits of the fabric left over, so we are gettting a wild assortment of masks -- superheroes, Dr. Who, race cars, bright paisley, etc.....

This also allows me to occasionally drop in casual conversation the true fact that I haven't bought a pair of underwear in over a quarter of a century, which does get me some odd looks...   :laugh:
The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils.
The motions of his spirit are dull as night,
And his affections dark as Erebus.
Let no such man be trusted.

-- William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice
