Because you need one when the other has been washed and put to dry.<br /> <br />Here our apartment association was kind enough to order in bulk masks for the residents almost a month ago, when it was speculated that masks would become mandatory. I got two each for my wife, my niece and myself. <br /><br />Interestingly they are colour-coded: blue for men, green for women, black for kids and brown for maids. <br /><br />I have been wearing it while going out.Pradeep Nairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04873369124947878452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925412579189247293.post-52619928125601148882020-05-20T15:09:38.865-07:002020-05-20T15:09:38.865-07:00My spouse and I have two masks each.

We can exercise walk without masks (permitted) because we don't get near to others (even if we have to zig zag through neighborhood streets, which we sometimes have to do.) I did find them somewhat suffocating when I first started to wear them. I was able to get used to them but I would have problems with wearing them 8 hours a day at a job. If I have to return to work in my office, I will have to wear a mask part of the day although there is no public contact. Not looking forward to that.

It's better to start, make mistakes, and perfect it as you make them rather than wondering how you can make it perfect the first time. Not going to happen. And truly, these are fun and quick. I'm enjoying making them.Liz A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16531953467834426316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925412579189247293.post-71546557064124517352020-05-20T12:31:23.861-07:002020-05-20T12:31:23.861-07:00Well, considering the fact that they're suppos...Well, considering the fact that they're supposed to be washed after every wearing, I don't think you have too many. We have N95s that Nick's mom gave us. Please don't judge me. They were from an opened package and none of the places we asked about donating them would take them. I know those won't last forever, so I've still been working on crochet ones. Mine still aren't very good, though. And I bought the fabric to try making some kind of like this (but crochet rather than knit), but I keep talking myself out of starting because I'm afraid I'll mess it up.

Lady I am in an email group with took her dog for a long walk, wearing a mask. She said she almost passed out close to home. I think it had to do with hyperventilating. She is 75 years old. I personally think it is ridiculous to wear a mask outside if someone is not in a public place with lots of people and is alone. Like she was. She is in Alabama. Not sure if it is mandated there or not.<br /><br />Bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925412579189247293.post-62104592489167194802020-05-18T11:38:20.644-07:002020-05-18T11:38:20.644-07:00They came out nice!
