Coronavirus Substitute Products - Let's Get Creative!

This bra is for emergency.. want better yes one bra makes to masks and kmart 6$ a bra.. add a push up or padded has more of a fillter for sweat i say then use teatree oil or cream on the out side or detol or any bug spray.. garlic or raw onion or vinigar. Why it kills germs on contact. Lemon also good.

These are not perfect medical masks but could be better than nothing.

Coffee, paint, and kitchen jelly filters.

Acordian fold layers of paper towels, pinch the ends together, staple with a rubber band.

Use layers of cloth, I used to use a pair of my panties with a rubber band when I ran out of dry wall sanding and paint spray masks.

$ store dust masks as is would not help. I use them to clean the barn and my nose still fills with dirt dust. You would have to add more filtering and a lot of tape.

I did pick up a good pair of clear goggles at the $ store they just need a stronger elastic strap I can make.

Wool 100% be it socks jumper suit dress.. and is washable to use again.

Just a though never did or bought asian lamb or clothes made from wool..
Wool that word looks weird did I spell it right..

Just use a vape pen to breathe from now on.. the heat will kill any virus going through it.

Chop off head and save some money

So, put your mask impregnated with Thieve's oil or CS on, then, soak some knee high nylons in CS and put that over your whole head.

Good to go.

Also...Carry an atomizer with cinnamon oil with you and spray it at anyone who comes within 6 feet of you. Should work. For real.

But seriously, masks aren't good for longer than 3 hours. The Thieve's oil should help.

Lots of going Howard Hughes can't hurt in this.

Be safe.

I got one. Cats love it, but I bet dogs would do just fine with that too.

1/2 to 2/3 oatmeal cooked with fish or meat as a substitute for cat/dog food. If meat or fish is raw, you start with fish and add oatmeal flakes in once the proteins are fully cooked.

Plastic bags for gloves or should I say mittens. You can put them on your hands when you go out and dispose of the bag when you are done. You can also put these bags on your shoes because you don't want to be walking around and pick up something on your shoe and then take your shoes off inside your house. So you will want some way to keep your shoes inside plastic bags if you have to bring your shoes in. Spit on the sidewalk, virus lives 9 days on stuff... Yeah. Plastic covers for your hands and shoes.

Washrags or some type of t-shirt material or other softer clothes to wipe your butt with when you run out of toilet paper. Wash, rinse, wipe butt again. LOL

Adult diapers for menstrual pads or baby diapers cut down to pads, as the material is absorbent, and you can use them at night, so you don't bleed all over yourself. And if someone gets sick, it's easier to clean them up if they are in diapers instead of panties. Throw away the diapers, wash the panties. Adult diapers it is. LOL

I'm going to make some ghee because it's room temp stable and it's butter. If I lose my frig, I want butter. So I am going to make some in the next couple weeks. Put it in jars and on my shelf to use instead of butter.

I do not expect to lose electricity or water or internet/tv cable or cell phone service. I expect the government or military to help keep these services operational. If you look, even China has managed to keep the water and lights on during this. So I expect other countries will to. Especially if they are already preparing for this.

I would also put up some stuff to share if you can afford it. When others around you run out of stuff, they will come looking. Time to get to know your neighbors before this gets bad. That way you know who you need to watch out for. Just get out and talk to them about this virus and see what they have to say. Feel them out. If you can't, go luck. You will need it.

Diabetics should be putting up hard candies to eat when they can not get insulin. I would think a lot of people are going to die because they can not get their meds. So maybe you should stock up on some cheap sheets to use as shrouds to bury people in. Not everyone is going to die of this virus and they will need burying. Here where I live, I can bury you in my backyard in a shroud. Shroud has to be white but I don't think in a pandemic they will care if it's white or not. Just a nice sheet is good enough. Dig a hole, drop in shroud covered body, bury. Say some words, go home. I doubt there will be many mourners.

Shovels and boots and work gloves so you can dig some holes.

As this virus actually started in China around Nov. 2019 or so, it's taken it 3-4 months to work itself into the state it's in and China only started measures recently. I expect it to die out by this summer really. Especially if we lock it down by area and they can keep people contained. That's a big "if" huh? LOL So if it follows, this virus will be May or June before it hits really bad here. That's a good time as it's summer and you can heat water up in the sun. Put water in clear bottles and lay in the sun for a day and the sun will purify it. [link to www.sodis.ch (secure)]

Nicotine and caffeine. Nicotine patches and caffeine pills. These things are going to be considered worth their weight in gold to ya when you can no longer get coffee/soda/tea and cigarettes. Gold I tell ya. LOL Imagine all the foul tempered folks coming off long time habits and you having to be stuck in a house with them. Yep, worth their weight in gold. LOL I don't know what to tell ya about alcoholics. It they have the DT's, it might not go well with them. And junkies will puke and crap on ya. Good luck. Stay calm. LOL

Keep going GLP

Is what you call "baking paper" what we here would call "parchment paper"? You use it to line your cookie sheets so that the cookies come right off, or if you're making a batch of candied nuts. Also, what about using your brassiere idea but with coffee filters? Seems like they would already have the same sort of shape, either to fit inside, or perhaps on the outside, that way they could be discarded and changed more frequently.

Move to someplace warm like 90s warm. Virus wont survive there on surfaces. Work or vacay for a few months and come home...

No cases in S. America yet.

Always wanted to visit Brazil ?

Time to leave, cheap now...

Costa Rica is a nice spot for Americans.

This one is interesting - when you follow the breadcrumbs it will lead to a paper about improvised facemasks from households items, like t-shirts:

Facemask Prototypes

Description

The Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) is considering a project to produce 200 facemask prototypes. The project will be implemented using the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code 541715 ... bla bla bla

This is how the professionals prepare.



CDC is going all MacGyver on us.

We are going to need some substitute for "water"

scuba gear - oxygen, airtight mask...

I live in Brazil, and here you are punched by all kinds of viruses and possible pests, 40celsius is a normal day here. This story of heat killing viruses is complete nonsense, maybe it's true inside an oven, but not in the real world.

You need to learn if the size of the virus can fit through the size of the furnace filter spaces. I am sure that it can.

So if you cannot find or afford nitrile gloves, just buy kitchen gloves at a dollar store and use those. Bleach the outsides after each use and voila!

Sorry, NO, NOT better than nothing. They give you false hope so they are worse than nothing.

Masks have to have smaller openings than what the virus can get through, and those DO NOT. You really have to get N95 or a higher number.

Please don't lose your life over a few dollars. Skip that hamburger, walk instead of drive a day or two - do something to get the right protection. Get nitrile gloves same way, same reason. Goggles are also required - find them at a dollar store or where swimwear is sold. They have to fit tightly to the forehead, nose, temples.

People, please understand in this case, "better than nothing" will cost you your life.

No. Furnace filters have HUUUUUUGE openings, and so do dust masks, comparatively. The virus will skinny right through both and all three and anything else you choose to throw in there - nice try but NO.

Will kill you, as well, breathing it. Hope you meant to be funny, though it was in poor taste here.

Won't work.

Wear a leg of panty hose on your head. You will look like a thug but it may provide some filtration for all orifices.

Also, menstruating ladies could check out a silicone moon cup to replace disposable feminine hygiene products.

The weave of a fabric will let kazillions of virii through - far too large "holes".

Virii will be all over and in and through such a huge weave - won't work at all for that purpose, but will be delightfully thug-like, for sure!

Using a cup or a natural sponge for menstruation is wonderful - and saves a lot of money. In case of SHTF, no huge boxes of stored pads or tampons - just a couple little cups or sponges. Great advice!

Depends on how often you intend to go out, even to the mailbox. One mask is good only for three or four hours, so plan accordingly.

Remember nitrile gloves and goggles.

Any mask you wear must be discarded after three to four hours. If it is made of fabric,it must be dumped into a bleach solution immediately. The fabric has to be made for the purpose - any normal fabric has "holes" in the weave enough for ten armies of virii to march through one "hole" side by side.

Everybody please go to youtube and research the proper way to remove a mask and gloves. This requires great caution and exactness or your wearing of it was wasted and you have the virus everywhere.

I got one of them see thru umbrellas. I open it, stand underneath it and then close it.

Yeah after reading garlic and bra cups I think you might have the best idea there.
