3. Now, how to get the material to people stuck at home, with sewing machines...

It is sort of a catch 22 situation...

If you go out you are breaking quarantine.

You can't gather together in a room (with your sewing machine) to sew with others, because you are breaking social distancing.

Our innovative solutions are requiring that we ignore our common sense.

I used to live in G-ville. If I was still there I would be volunteering to come in with my sewing machine to whip out some masks. IF they would allow it...

Of course my cynical side assumes that SOME, once they got their hands on the material, would make the masks and sell (some of) them at top dollar.

Americans WILL make a buck, IF they can get away with it. I'm so proud. What better example of "disaster capitalism"...
