Thank you all for the suggestions, I truly appreciate it.

Downandlonely - Thanks - I will check online again to see if any place is carrying dust masks. I suspect they may all be sold out, but I'd totally give those a go, if I could get my hands on them!

~Christina - Thanks! Not on facebook, but have been picking up masks from Etsy and trying to think of other, less likely to be known places to source them. Thanks for the tip... I can try breathing out through the mask. The one that I had on, I'm not sure if it would help, the cotton was SO tightly woven I think the air HAS to go up when you breathe out, that's what it feels like! But I'll give it a try.

I also saw a tip that you can place a folded tissue along the top edge of the mask, which should absorb some of the humidity... I haven't really had luck with that yet, but still trying.

And, sorry to hear about your governor. I'm in Georgia, so feeling like ours is pretty useless too. Or at least, not very smart.

MuseumGhost - Thanks! I'll check again... I've been looking, but am not very handy! I tried one that didn't require sewing, just cutting up an old t-shirt, and that just... I couldn't seem to get it to stay on my face. It feels crazy. There's gotta be something that will work for me.

My biggest concern is that... I think masks are a really bad idea, unless they fit well and are comfortable, because if they start to fall off or get uncomfortable, you're going to HAVE to touch your face to adjust them, which means you're increasing your risk of passing germs from your hands to your face. I'm washing my hands a lot, but didn't manage to get sanitizer before it all got bought up, so I really need to NOT touch my face in public (where I'm not likely to be able to wash my hands). I've been super careful about staying away from people (work from home, only leaving for groceries and an occasional walk outside before everyone wakes up) and keeping distance from people... it's just... ugh... hard.

LizardLady Thanks - yeah, if you still have the directions you used, I'd love to see them, thanks! With the bandanna, does it stay on OK? It doesn't slide down? (I've tried tying other things on, but the ribbons that I used tend to slide down my head?)

I have an old sheet that I could cut into bandanna-sized clothes, I'm sure. But just not sure if it would stay on.

I'd use a scarf, but the scarves I have are all kind of nice ones (gifts!) that can't be easily washed! I think that whatever I use, I should thrown in the wash when I get back home, to de-germify!

Wild Coyote - Thanks, I'll go look. Saw some disposable ones on Walmart too, may just pick up a pack to test out... it just looked like they might take awhile to actually get here.

Thanks everyone... I appreciate it!
