1. OMG... I thought she was smarter than THAT

[dawg day]

2. What if it has a couple plies of non-woven fabric inside?

I don't know. Just asking.

14. Looks like there is something in the guts of the mask. nt

3. Line it with two to three layers of pantyhose as a filter to catch the virus.

Then launder, dry and re-wear.

8. Pantyhose liner.....

Adding A Nylon Stocking Layer Could Boost Protection From Cloth Masks, Study Finds
April 22, 20201:34 PM ET

Researcher Loretta Fernandez of Northeastern University wears a homemade face mask without and with an extra outer layer made from nylon stockings (right). The added nylon outer layer significantly boosted masks' ability to filter out small particles, her research found.

16. That's interesting-- It looks sort of wanky, but I can see how tight a fit it has.

I do have several pantihose with runs in them... will have to try this.

28. An added plus,...

... the pantyhose on your mouth/nose gums up the AI - facial recognition software. It provides a designation of anonymous for you while out in public and it helps filter out the kooties from the Coronavirus so they don't invade your respiratory system.

4. It looks to me like her mask has layers behind the crocheting

I’m pretty sure she is smarter than that 😊

5. Maybe it has the filter on the inside.

If not, it is totally useless. Pretty weird considering the dude is wearing a N95 respirator.

9. oh good. Thanks for reading further. lol

11. Actually it looks too warm to wear in the summer.

[Tipperary]

26. I find them all too warm, but I do not go out in public very much. I wear them when I do.

If I have to enter a store in summer, guess what? It will be air conditioned. Doing outside activities alone or with family, I do not need a mask. Good for her for promoting mask wearing. Wow, you think she has done something wrong.

13. Who's she calling an asshole? Kind of defensive there, Alyssa. The mask looks to have....

....big dark holes in it so I'm guessing that there is no filter liner. How about a photo of the inside of the mask, to prove it. Googled her to find out she's an actress, producer and singer (and apparently likes to post stuff for publicity).

[sweetloukillbot]

15. So you bothered to Google who she was but didn't bother to actually look at her Twitter Feed

You're just showing your ignorance here.

27. Read a little further.

17. Nice hit job -- she is a well-known lefty who does publicize stuff

You know, like anti-Trump stuff, pro-labor stuff, pro-LGBT stuff, pro women stuff. MAGATs and Trump and his kids are always attacking her with disgusting memes and names, and try to doxx her and her family. So, you know, he is such a publicity hound s/

First-rate tone policing by you btw -- A+ for effort.

Oh, and those masks? They have carbon filters in them, and they also have a fold/pouch for other filtering material.

Get over it.

[RussellCattle]

21. She responded to her critics by calling them "assholes".

[Silent3]

22. Yes, and definitely a fair call on her part. n/t

[RussellCattle]

23. She respopnded to her critics by name calling.

[Silent3]

25. And so what?

I think we've grown far too tolerant of rampant idiocy, and I don't blame people at all for getting angry about it.

Of course, if you respond ONLY with name calling, and no good explanation or rationale, that's not good. That's Trump like.

But if someone supplies a good and necessary counter-argument (in this case explaining the filter inside the mask), I have no problem with that person spicing up their response bit with some well-deserved snark as well.

29. Name calling, so what? It's not like she's running for president.

[Alex4Martinez]

7. Happy to see that her kids aren't made to wear crapmasks.

Is anyone telling this person in comments to toss that mask?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

10. Read the other posts before jumping to conclusions.

The mask has other filtering layers; the crocheted part is just decorative.

[Alex4Martinez]

12. That's very helpful to know. nt.

[obamanut2012]

18. yawn

[Bettie]

19. I have thought of adding a lacy cover

to mine to make it pretty...that looks like you'd be really overheated soon though.

[Kashkakat v.2.0]

20. It would keep moths and large insects out - for what THATS worth.... nt

[Tipperary]

24. It has a filter.

Does no one read further?
