https://www.iheart.com/content/2020-04-21-woman-creates-giving-tree-with-hundreds-of-homemade-masks-for-community/
Apr 21, 2020 · A ‘giving tree’ has been made by a Deb Siggins, from Iowa, that is carrying hundreds of homemade face masks for locals. The 55-year-old began making these masks after one of her local hospitals needed donations due to shortages.

Thumbs up to ALL sewers who have made masks and donated them to their local health agencies, hospitals, etc.
I first made masks for each person in my family.
NOW, I am working on masks for the hospital.

Those are neat. I have not seen any like that before.

-
The smile masks creep me out.

I never thought about the effect on people who communicate by lip reading. These should come in handy!

Awesome, great way to stay friendly.
-
Pretty cute, we need something to make us smile now. ! Good job!!!

This one for kids, they might wear it! Since they can see and it doesn't look uncomfortable, I know the paper ones are hard to wear and breathe properly.

Texas girl, 15, collects 12,000 protective masks for hospital staff
Valerie Xu raised money through GoFundMe after learning about the need for masks across the US.
"There's been a growing need of PPE in local hospitals. ... Our family friend from Florida who was an ER doctor had to reuse the same mask for multiple weeks. ... This is like the first time in my lifetime that I've seen such a large crisis happen especially in a first-world country like the U.S. and it just showed me how much in need doctors and nurses are of PPE," she said.
Xu said that in March she began raising money for masks on a crowdfunding site. Thanks to social media, the campaign was shared across the state and many donated. She raised nearly $3,000 and a local company matched it.
She was able to collect thousands of masks and she delivered them to UT Southwestern Medical Center on April 24. She said the effort had raised her awareness about the different essential workers in her community.
7-year-old donates more than 6,000 masks, gloves and caps from hotels to hospital workers
"It's not just doctors and nurses who are helping ... it's everyone," such as first responders and grocery store workers, she said. "It just taught me the importance of these people. ... They're sacrificing their health."

i think those are good for people who are having to help the deaf and hard of hearing people..
-
I think it's a good idea.
-
I really like the cute mask for kids. I would wear that one myself because I the fabric one against my nose go in and out and is uncomfortable.
-
I am going to work on my own mask. Need varieties. So many people still aren't wearing masks.

This is the real deal, must read:
Nurse creates mask that may be better than the n95 model!
For pictures click on this one:
https://medicalxpress.com/news/2020-05-nurse-didnt-n95-maskhers.html
Good article on this click:
https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/This-nurse-didn-t-just-create-a-replacement-N95-15251017.php
At about $25 each, Tommye started with 12 filters. She bought three different models, cut through their paper and wire frames, and got to work.
Click here to read:
https://www.ourmidland.com/news/article/This-nurse-didn-t-just-create-a-replacement-N95-15251017.php
Tommye's resume is crammed with credentials: R.N., Ph.D., MBA and NEA-BC (Nurse Executive Advanced-Board Certified).
Her title is senior vice president and chief nurse executive. Last year, the industry publication Modern Healthcare ranked her the nation's 38th most influential clinical executive. She's on the local board of the American Heart Association and Batz Patient Safety Foundation, and she volunteers with the March of Dimes.
N95s weren't intended for all-day use, so they tend to carve painful, unsightly marks into noses, cheeks and chins. Hers don't.
And hers might be better.
– The name N95 comes from the fact the masks filter 95% of airborne particles, such as viruses. Lab results show Tommye's masks block 96.5%.
Then she remembered what her late husband always said: "If you can't find something and you can't buy something, you make it."
Even with all her skills, the challenge of designing an N95 equivalent is something she would've outsourced to her husband, Fermon Austin.
Although he never went to college, Fermon had the mind of an engineer. He once built a machine to remove corn from its husk just to see if he could. He was a do-it-all, blue-collar worker who died last April 2 at age 64 due to heart failure. They were married 15 years and together for 20.

Do they work to block out the germs and virus effectively?

What a fantastic idea, masks designed for the deaf and hard of hearing community! I'm sure those that need them will be grateful! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

The 'doctor' will see you 😷 😷 😷 😷 😷
CNBC logoMIT engineers designed an affordable, reusable face mask that's as effective as an N95 — take a look
At the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, the shortage of N95 respirator masks presented a dire situation for the healthcare and frontline workers who needed them most. Essential workers who relied on N95 masks had no choice but to wear what were meant to be disposable N95 masks for weeks at a time. Some started disinfecting the masks to be redistributed and reused.
The iMASC is a clear rubber mask that covers the nose and mouth, with a nose bridge and two nylon elastic straps that go around the head. The fit was based on the 3M 1860 respirator, a particular style of N95 mask that's commonly used by healthcare providers.© Provided by CNBC The iMASC is a clear rubber mask that covers the nose and mouth, with a nose bridge and two nylon elastic straps that go around the head.

I think it is so Creepy, don't think so.
-
That is a little creepy somehow lol. But I do like the idea of being able to see people's faces more. It's so disorienting when you can't tell if someone is smiling and they can't tell if you're smiling.
-
I really like that :)

This one for kids, they might wear it! Since they can see and it doesn't look uncomfortable, I know the paper ones are hard to wear and breathe properly.
I think this one is my favorite!! For elderly, children and well, just anybody!

:)id wear one.

Oh wow! I have not seen these until now. Very interesting!

Wow, I would like to buy them.

I first made masks for each person in my family.
NOW, I am working on masks for the hospital.
Could you find another term for people who sew besides "sewers"? You get my drift? No offense, jkhanson, but that one caught me off guard; your thanking sewers which sounds more like a plumbing issue.. :-[
:fish:
-
Its a nice idea. But on a morbid point of view its creepy. Not going to lie.
-
The kid mask looks cute & it helps with breathing without blowing fog to blind the person wearing.
-
Ill be honest this looks sketchy and creepy. I'd rather have an animal smile mask you can get on themountain than have one of these or have to look at one of these. Makes me wanna cringe
-
still looks a bit creepy to me

Well Telwut has an interesting survey on a topic I posted in April, Read my Thread from the beginning and see the pictures I posted about these masks!!
So very applicable! Thanks for reading!
😷Wearing a mask has become part of everyday life, but for those who are deaf, or hearing impaired, not being able to read other peoples' lips has made the pandemic feel even more isolating. To solve the problem, some mask-makers have started selling masks with transparent windows in hopes of allowing anyone with hearing impairments to carry on a conversation. Several on-line as well as through retail outlets have seen an increase in sales for these masks, and many feel they should be used within schools and with day care workers, for more effective communication. Do you feel these masks should be marketed more and made available in schools and day cares as "essential" supplies?
Marketed more as an option to regular face masks
Made available in schools and day cares as "essential" supplies
Both above options
Not sure
Neither
Disagree with masks altogether
-
It seems strange to me...scary in fact.
-
I read about them earlier in the pandemic, I think a teacher invented them so her hearing impaired students could read her lips. It is also good you get to see someone's smile too.

Here's yet another "I can see you Smile" mask
Meet the OricShield™
https://world-journal-online.com/oricshield-2/?utm_source=taboola&utm_medium=referral&tblci=GiCaYeB7yxaHaKwgRWkGA_TE1q-GpX7f5428CGQSU_HYwSCX-1A#tblciGiCaYeB7yxaHaKwgRWkGA_TE1q-GpX7f5428CGQSU_HYwSCX-1A
The Japanese company behind the OricShield™ are experts in health tech. Their engineers combined forces with some of the top virologists in the world to develop the OricShield™.
In my opinion this is the next generation of masks.
This mask fits very well and even if it slips you can adjust it like glasses without touching your nose or mouth.
“One of the main ways Covid-19 is transmitted is through smear infections. Covid-19 can survive up to four days on most surfaces. If you touch your face after you touched a infected surface the probability of infection is quite high.”-WebMD.com
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
If you look at the features and production quality of the OricShield™ it wouldn’t be surprising to see a price tag of up to $70. Which would still be lower than most of its competitors.
That’s why we were stunned to learn the company sells this Shield for just $29.90 (thanks to a 50% promo ending soon).

I have a hearing problem and the regular masks don't fit well over the hearing aids and glasses further complicate the situation plus voices are muffled so best to just stay at home
-
i like theses masks
-
Smile masks? The first time I saw someone with one, it really creeped me out. That's a NO for smile masks.
-
Masks are ineffective. There are many studies that prove it. They cause bacterial pneumonia and other diseases. Enjoy wearing them but, not me.
-
Many people thinking outside the box to help others.

I think that's a little creepy
