    Several. Ditched the bandana approach. Too hard to tie tight. Settled on a snug neck gator with feminine pads (they make them with adhesive!) stuck to the front as a filter/barrier. Seems solid. I can barely breathe when using it. It may be too barrier. Best might be like in the Army recommendation in the post below. IDK, I'm not a mask engineer, I just wear one on TV.

    Try TShirthell.com for masks. Their stuff is always entertaining.

    Army's recommendation

    "The best easy-to-find material for a homemade face covering to protect against coronavirus transmission is four-ply microfiber cloth, according to Army researchers at the service’s Combat Capabilities Development Command."

    With that rig I'll bet you don't have any trouble with people crowding your social distancing space.

    Face masks have now become fashion statements.

    This is true. When I go for my runs I constantly see this high school kit who has a baby blue bandana he wears on his face that is matched by his baby blue hat and his baby blue shoes. The bandana is on all the time no matter if people are around or not, I call it covid chic.
