					<description><![CDATA[The US CDC and the rest of us didn&#8217;t understand the contagion parameters for COVID-19 in the early weeks and masks were not thought to be effective unless they were N-95 masks that trap most of the virus when the wearer inhales or exhales. Now we know better. We noticed that the intensity and duration [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[After surveying many YouTube videos for face masks, I condluded that I could design a better cloth mask. Many designs I viewed did not seal the gap between the mask and cheek bones &#8212; particularly when worn by someone who has a prominent nose, like me. The CDC now recommends that everyone cover their face [&#8230;]]]></description>

This solution degrades over 24 hours and should be made fresh for each use. NOTE: Use 4 teaspoons of household bleach [Clorox] per quart to make a sanitizing solution.
