Cotton tea towels, specifically. Other kitchen towels have too loose of a weave.They already did a study and cotton materials are best because they are breathable and do stop at least some particles. So people could be making their own homemade washable cotton masks (from cotton t-shirts). Cotton dish towels were best in stopping particles but they are hard to breath through.
Me too. There was a lot of ‘blimey’ing going on in my house listening to these measures.I'm very pleasantly surprised by this. Credit where it's due.
Very glad our pubs, restaurants etc have to shut now too. Hopefully this will be a big help in stopping the spread of it

Remember the term "Trickle Down Economics" that has been thrown around periodically throughout the different times.
Im not sure if that is the right term for this, but I think we are seeing a form of that play out big time right in front of our eyes how certain decisions and certain things have a huge ripple effect on the economy and it ends up affecting many other businesses and many other people.
One of the things I have thought about is how the closures and self isolations keep more people at home and they end up needing more basic home supplies like regular old home foods and home supplies like TP. So besides the people stocking up out of concern, I feel there is a real larger demand now for these supplies which is now causing even more shortages.
All these sorts of ripple effects show us first hand how so many things are tied together and integrated within an economy.
Sorry...me again.
Newfoundland has it's 4th case now...on the eastern side of the province.

The article got more specific in content after calling them dish towels, and specified tea towels. A lot of people use terry dish towels, which are more absorbent than tea towels. But tea towels have the tightest weave. A regular terry dish towel would be worthless as mask fabric - loose weave.The article called them dish towels.
Not sure what is the difference between dish towels and tea towels.

Man.
I wonder what the highest numbers of cases reported in one day was in China. We followed them everyday but I can’t remember off the top of my head what that was.
And remember whatever that number is you can take with a grain of salt, moo.
Oh yeah there was that time when they changed to using a “clinical” diagnosis, then the numbers soared, then they changed that system again.
This is so terrible to see Italy. Just incredible and I fear for our future based on that.
That’s why it was SO important to heed what Doc T was preaching over and over about the “Window of Opportunity”.
These numbers are terrifying.
Those poor people in Italy.
I fear for the US (and other countries, UK, etc.).
See Id ha e some hope of we would’ve locked things down earlier and people took it seriously earlier.
The last couple weeks in the US are going to account for a HUGE spike.
Man. Those are terrible terrible numbers.
How do those colors to Chinese numbers?
Did we ever find patient zero in Italy?
I had surmised initially it could be cruise ship influx in Venice, wtc...
I’d like to see a chart of everyone’s numbers over time if anyone has one handy, please.
Each country is different but remember Hubei had extreme and barbaric containment measures and they still had CV for over 4 months.
We are just now more recently getting into strong containment and mitigation phases...
We’ve lost a lot of time MOO.
Damn it.
Grrrrrrrre
