This wasn't what I intended to write about today but... such is the unemployed/work-at-home life we are living right now. My old computer won't connect with the wireless printer, so I'm stashing some things here for later perusal on the main computer.
I figure at some point I can make us a couple of covid-19 face masks. I have seen a number of people wearing them out in public, plus others making them for hospitals and whatnot. I don't know how to sew, and have no idea what we have for supplies, but I would think I could figure something out. Maybe. At some point.
Anyway, here are some patterns/instructions I found online. Not sure if these are the best, but it's a start:

The home here is going to be providing a mask, made by volunteers, to each resident, even in Independent Living. They are being EXTREMELY pro-active here. And, so far, we have no one is testing positive.
A group from our parish have sewed close to 400 face masks for the local nursing home this past week. It's the little things that count, checking in on neighbors, especially the elderly. Praying for those on the front lines.
