gollark: Wait, are we talking homemade masks, surgical masks, or actual respirator things?
gollark: It seems a good idea complicated by the issues of actually getting enough and the early insistence by some dodecahedra that MaSkS DoN'T woRk.
gollark: Still, we can't *stay* in lockdown for an indefinite amount of time, it definitely has to be a temporary thing, and there seems to be a distinct lack of plans for dealing with COVID-19 after that.
