COVID-19 and the Role of Home-made Masks

As we all prepare to go through the difficult challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, there are some bright spots around the world. Those are from countries that have been able to slow down the virus and even eliminate new cases. Based on a number of excellent resources, it turns out that masks, made in the home, and worn in the community may be a big part of that answer. I prepared this video for our community and have shared with a number of government and healthcare experts. Please share it with your friends.
