A washable, reusable, durable and fashionable face mask. I’d imagine this will become common place every flu season. The weirdness around it is gone in the West at this point.

It’s be great if they could make nice scarves with a patch that sort of acts like an n95. Then it would be same as bundling up with a scarf around your face in the winter. It would just look like a regular scarf.

I hope you're right. Every flu season my wife has to stop getting essential medical treatment and hide in the house because she's immune compromised and no one in our culture seems to care if they spread it, including medical staff.
