CAN WE AUDIOPHILES DO OUR PART?


So we're all tired of hearing about nothing but Covid-19 (or, as I term it, the C-Plague). What can we do, as audiophiles, to help with all this.
I was amazed, and delighted, when I went to the Cardas website to see that they are doing their part. Go to their website and you'll see their director, Angela Cardas, wearing a mask. If you click on the Cardas Nautilus logo in the upper left corner, you'll see pictures of people there in the factory making masks with sewing machines. I called the company to congratulate them, and spoke with a woman named Darla, who said it was their way, during this economic slump, to keep their employees working and also their way of trying to "do our part."
I'm not writing all this to advertise Cardas products. They are a very good company, but trust your ears, not anything I write, when it comes to buying their products. They do get credit, however, for helping me come to a realization that pushed me in the right direction. I called a woman I am friends with, who is 85 years old and is a good seamstress, to suggest she start making masks. She already was--and is. By phone she has organized several other women to do the same, and right now they are needing more material and elastic. I managed to gather about 50 pounds of material and am starting to gather elastic while also getting more material. But I don't sew. I can't help out with that. Any ideas as to what we--all of us who are good with our ears and focused with our budgets--can do to help out in other ways?

I realize this is an odd topic to bring to an audio forum, but it was a very socially responsible audio company that got me to thinking about it, and frankly I believe I should be socially responsible enough to do what I can to get other people to thinking about it. While also being open to other people's ideas about ways someone like me who is "just an audiophile" can help.

Thank you, in advance, for any and all ideas on this.

geoffkait,

"Why would the governors and states recommended making your own mask?"
Did you have to? Now, we will get into political conspiracy theories.
Pretty obvious from your posts and mine geoffkait, who knows what they are talking about ... it is not you.

Actually, not to beat a dead horse is masks are effective at either preventing the spread of COVID-19 to others or preventing the wearer of the mask contracting the virus why are the numbers of cases and deaths not (rpt not) going down? The number of deaths in the US has remained at about 2K per day average for five weeks, since April 7. Answer at 11.

Jitter is gullible, too but I already knew that. Some people believe anything. They’re desperate
Listen, your right, at one time I believed you were someone of some importance in this world.  For all your hints, nothing came out of it, except you can't tell us for some security reason.  Security this.

Have you seen a person actually coming close to people with this Coronavirus infection that does not wear eye protection?
