Suay Sew Shop took matters into their own hands and created masks 87% as effective as an N95 mask for the coronavirus. What an accomplishment! They tested a variety of materials with the mask designs to filter out coronavirus-sized particles on a PortaCount Pro machine and found that Zep or Wypall shop towels worked the best. There are 2 variations of 1 mask design and multiple fabric recommendations along with instructions.

You can make a mask for yourself and for others with their free downloadable pattern available in English, Spanish and German. Support their opensource pattern and continued mask production at GoFundMe or on Venmo (@suaysewshop).

See where people are who have symptoms. The joint project from epidemiologists, software developers at Boston Children’s Hospital and volunteers from the tech industry, covidnearyou uses crowdsourced data. It’s easy to participate — just answer a few questions and you’re done.

This infographic shows the huge impact of social distancing in personal terms. According to Robert A. J. Singer, Ph.D., it’s estimated that half of us will get the coronavirus. We need to slow the spread of the virus so that we can save lives and help our medical systems and healthcare workers from being so overwhelmed. Learn something new, plant a garden, binge-watch, read a book, work on a project, help someone out. Let’s do this, now, everyone!
