      The Czech Republic went from zero mask usage to 100% in 10 days, and in the process they halted the growth of new covid-19 cases. How? They made their own! They didn't need government help; they did it themselves. It's time for #masks4all. See why: https://youtu.be/BoDwXwZXsDI  1/

      Masks aren't enough on their own. But they are a part of the solution in *every* region that's figuring out how to beat this thing! (Of course, you can't even *begin* to solve this until you've done a lock-down long enough to buy your hospital system time.)pic.twitter.com/9eiVp9Ldj2

      Here's the president of Taiwan. Why is she so happy? Because Taiwan has so few cases they don't even appear on the chart above! They've invested massively in masks!https://twitter.com/iingwen/status/1237310911376846849 …

      The power of Taiwan’s SMEs never ceases to amaze me. I’m proud to announce that as of this week, Taiwan’s Face Mask Team now has the capacity to produce an average of 9.2 million masks per day, & 10 million masks per day on weekdays. Yes, 10,000,000! pic.twitter.com/rg7Pl3xHff

      What's happening here? Does this masks thing really make sense, scientifically? Yes, it does! Here's 34 scientific papers that all point to the same thing: masks (even home made ones) really work to dramatically reduce the spread of covid-19. http://tiny.cc/maskswork pic.twitter.com/RQsvq9ezX0

          Masks aren't just about protecting the wearer. They're mainly about protecting those around you. In the Czech Republic, advertisements are used to make sure everyone understands that if you wear a mask, you're helping your community stay safe.pic.twitter.com/QnLzoloE1o

          The fancy masks they use in hospitals are called 'Respirators' (the most common rating is 'N95'). You don't need one of those to protect you - they're only needed for certain hospital procedures. You just need a basic mouth & nose cover, and goggles or glasses for your eyes.pic.twitter.com/y3KG8fFjlt

          A Cambridge University study showed that lots of household materials are nearly as good as surgical masks, and you can use 2 layers of material to make them even better. It doesn't need to be perfect - it just needs to reduce viral load so your immune system can kick in!pic.twitter.com/tWYfosBUei

          These simple materials work well because covid-19 is transmitted as "droplets", which are easily caught by even a cotton t-shirt.pic.twitter.com/tDh5fCiQca

          Here's an important tip that didn't make it to the video: you can reuse your masks. Stanford University research shows that you can just pop them in the oven at 70C (160F) for 30 mins, and they're good to go! https://m.box.com/shared_item/https%3A%2F%2Fstanfordmedicine.box.com%2Fv%2Fcovid19-PPE-1-1 …pic.twitter.com/Vj4S6Unn3i

          So, do you want to help get your community out of lock-down, back on their feet, and cut the death toll? Here's how you can help: 1) Share this video 2) Create a mask, and take a selfie with it 3) Use the hashtag #masks4allhttps://youtu.be/BoDwXwZXsDI

          New: great tip from @zeynep for making disposable masks using kitchen paper towels (she suggests that you can probably skip the plastic folder part). It's official advice from HK Consumer Council (but ignore their stuff about aerosols).https://www.consumer.org.hk/ws_en/news/specials/2020/mask-diy-tips.html …
