• Yes, the aspect of not wearing them properly is the exact parallel of cycle h*lm*ts. Anyway, compulsion is nonsense and should be rescinded pronto.

  • I've ordered some elastic band and thin fabric so I can make some comfortable masks I can wash easily, don't think it'll be rescinded here anytime soon. Sachsen has been all too keen on ridiculous measures, being one of only two states with a real lockdown. (The effectiveness of which was debatable too, the country-wide distancing rules were completely ignored by those who did go out.)

  • We made these masks a couple weeks ago (with a second fabric as an insert), but the behind-the-head fastening doesn't work that well with elastic straps – they need to go behind the ears. They're otherwise very comfortable to wear and quick to make if you have a sewing machine.

    Some interesting reading about the best materials for a DIY mask on that site, too.
