FACE MASK PATTERNS AND INSTRUCTIONS

Why make face masks? First email from Kathy McNeil:www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEHU0U4TQXc

What a troubled time we are living through. My oldest daughter is the assistant manager of the hospitalist team at my old hospital. Hospitals in Seattle and around the country are begging for people to make masks. Many hospitals have already run out: see guidelines below.
“Prior to modern disposable masks, washable fabric masks were standard use for hospitals,” said Dawn Rogers, MSN, RN, FNP-C, Patient Safety & Infection Prevention Office in a release to media.  “We will be able to sterilize these masks and use them repeatedly as needed. While it’s less than ideal, we want to do our best to protect our staff and patients during this pandemic.”
