But you would need to put a filter on the snorkel . Just wear a SCUBA outfit.You'll need a snorkel as well otherwise you can't breathe!
Just wear a SCUBA outfit.
A friend of mine also mentioned this extra cautionary measure...great idea.Fold it in half (inside itself), take a sheet of non-woven material like a nappy liner or a dried out wet-wipe and place that in the fold. That way you get two layers of Buff and disposable inner filter. Not N95 but in a pinch . . .
Don't forget to disinfect your Buff with Milton steriliser (or whatever brand name you have in your country).
Be well.
That's why mine made such a good compression bandage and stopped the bleeding from a head wound last week.You'll need a snorkel as well otherwise you can't breathe!
Actually that’s a terrific idea. I was reading an article about how vacuum cleaner bags make pretty good masks. Something like 81%. As compared to the N95 masks, which of course are at 95%.
But since you pretty much can’t buy any facemask in the United States at the moment, maybe a piece of vacuum cleaner bag slid underneath the buff in front of your lower face would actually make an OK emergency mask. if you have a tight buff, I think it would hold everything in pretty well. I have a brand new very thin merino wool blend buff that I bought specifically for my spring Camino. I was saving it for next winter, but maybe it’ll shield me from infection. Or at least make me feel better, ha ha.
Not that I really go outside anymore except to the grocery, or occasional walks.
At this point I'd be happy to smell the unpleasant "odors" in the albergues at night. I think we will all appreciate our camino experiences even more once we are able to get back on those trails again one day.If albergues have gassy people near to your bed, a lightly scented buff over the nose may help resolve the odoriferous unpleasantness.
Care to share a link?I liked the British souvenir shop advertisement for patriotic masks best. They double as undies so for the ultra light backpacker workable.

I am no medical expert and this is not medical advice. But I think I've read that the airborne virus is carried by droplets. If that is the case, any barrier that blocks the droplets should provide some assistance. And droplet size may be considerably larger than virus size.If the Buff is thin then a virus will probably get through it. An N95 mask is not oil resistant (N) and should block particles of 0.3 microns or larger. Covid-19 is between 0.06 microns and 0.14 microns. . . .
But better than nothing.

If you're that sick, maybe you shouldn't go out?A friend of mine also mentioned this extra cautionary measure...great idea.
