JoAnn's Is All Closed To COVID 19?

[1imaginarygirl]

I was wondering how everyone is making homemade masks when the non-essential stores are all supposed to be closed. My husband tried to order masks online to have just in case the government requires people to wear them, but we're not supposed to receive them until the end of June!

The government cannot "require everyone to wear one" unless they provide them.  We are still a free country.  People better pull their head out of their butt and see what is going on before we aren't anymore.  You can look on YouTube for videos.  I saw a video the other night that had a simple instructional video on how to make a mask from a bandana.  You can also cut up an old t-shirt or use any piece of material.  It was no sew and looks simple.  I am wanting to make one but have not done it yet.  It is on the agenda for later today. lol

Did you not see the video of the man being dragged off the bus in Philadelphia because he wasn't wearing a mask? The government and/or police can pretty much do whatever they want. Doesn't mean it's right, but it happens anyway.

Only essential places are still open near me. WE dont have a Joanns but if we did it would be closed

Are craft stores considered essential? I have some crafts I've been wanting to work on (not covid related, just my usual stuff) but assumed that would all be closed.

Just have to order on line.  There are lots of them out there to order from.

This was going to be my question. I understand that people need fabric in order to make masks, but I would hardly consider JoAnns or other craft stores to be essential businesses. If masks are "absolutely essential for survival" then there are other options for material supplies. But the crafty type of supplies really are not an "essential" thing at this point to the risk of further spreading this virus.

Yes, it is essential if hospital workers asking for more masks being made!

Did you see this part? I'm not trying to be argumentative, so please don't misunderstand... If hospital workers are in need of masks (and I agree that they are), the materials can still be available without keeping the entire stores open.
