Emvevo 212's video: CoronaVirus Home-made Mask is a Bad idea How to SEW a Medical FACE MASK TUTORIAL Erica Arndt

In this reaction video, I talked about why home made mask could be a risk for everyone taking this part. Remember, only medically approved mask are safe for use. The wearing of face masks during the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic has received varying recommendations from different public health agencies and governments. The topic has been a subject of debate, with public health agencies and governments disagreeing on a universal protocol for wearing face masks. Some groups are recommending that all members of the public wear masks, while others recommend that only COVID-19 patients and their caretakers should wear masks. Additionally, public health agencies of different countries and territories have changed their recommendations regarding face masks over time.[1] Face masks have been a subject of shortages and also been made compulsory in some countries. Types of face masks, from least to most protective, include cloth facemasks, medical (non-surgical) masks,[2][3] surgical masks, and filtering facepiece respirators such as N95 masks and FFP masks. A cloth facemask is a mask made of common textiles, usually cotton, worn over the mouth and nose. Unlike surgical masks and respirators, they are not subject to regulation, and there is currently little research or guidance on their effectiveness as a protective measure against infectious disease transmission or particulate air pollution.[citation needed] They were routinely used by healthcare workers starting from the late 19th century until the mid 20th century. In the 1960s they fell out of use in the developed world in favor of modern surgical masks, but their use has persisted in developing countries.[4][5][6] A surgical mask is a loose-fitting, disposable device that creates a physical barrier between the mouth and nose of the wearer and potential contaminants in the immediate environment. If worn properly, a surgical mask is meant to help block large-particle droplets, splashes, sprays, or splatter that may contain viruses and bacteria, keeping it from reaching the wearer's mouth and nose. Surgical masks may also help reduce exposure of the wearer's saliva and respiratory secretions to others.[7] A surgical mask, by design, does not filter or block very small particles in the air that may be transmitted by coughs, sneezes, or certain medical procedures. Surgical masks also do not provide complete protection from germs and other contaminants because of the loose fit between the surface of the face mask and the face. Surgical masks may be labeled as surgical, isolation, dental, or medical procedure masks.[7] Surgical masks are made of a nonwoven fabric created using a melt blowing process.[8][9] An N95 mask is a particulate-filtering facepiece respirator that meets the N95 air filtration rating of the US National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, meaning that it filters at least 95 percent of airborne particles, while not resistant to oil like the P95. It is the most common particulate-filtering facepiece respirator.[10] It is an example of a mechanical filter respirator, which provides protection against particulates, but not gases or vapors.[11] Like surgical masks, the N95 mask is made of melt-blown nonwoven polypropylene fabric.[12][13] The corresponding facemask used in the European Union is the FFP2 respirator
