Here is an industrious undertaking..  UnityPoint Healthcare has provide a website with details for making a new modular mask, The Olson, named after 1930's legendary maker nurse Lyla Mae Olson.  The Mask was quickly developed by clinicians from UnityPoint Health and is being shared across the globe in the fight against COVID19

St Lukes Hospitals are in short supply of masks.  

UnityPoint Health has provided downloadable patterns, YouTube Videos, and complete instructions on how to Sew, Package and Send completed Masks to the St. Lukes Hospitals.

Completed Masks

  • Enclose completed masks in a closed plastic bag or closed plastic box.
  • We will launder them prior to use so no need to wash before delivering.
  • Please deliver to the St. Luke's Foundation, 855 A Ave. NE,  1st floor, Cedar Rapids. Phone (319) 369-7716.

From what I read lately, it seems if we would all wear a mask, day in and day out we wouldn't catch the virus or spread it.  just saying..  china stopped it completely in 60 days and now every citizen wears a mask, mandatory. They are all back to work and are not accepting people into their country without a quarantine.
