Wrong science and 3D masks

I've notice a constant downplaying of the crisis in the reported information coming in all directions, and Chris Martenson says that he has too.  He debunks the Oxford report which indicates that most people in the UK have already had Covid-19 and you need to watch his video if you don't already follow him.



Meanwhile, although millions of gloves and face masks etc have been sent out to the people in the frontline, those stocks are not going to last long.  And in any case, the countries who have done the best have not only had a policy of aggressive testing, but have also got the whole population wearing masks.  It's the only way to beat this thing.  Although, clearly, the UK government think they know better.

The media are catching up in the US with the fact that help is needed from the community to try to provide the protective equipment that nurses and doctors need.

I'm as angry as the next person that they have not commissioned tests from those who had the components ready and waiting, and now have commissioned a huge order of ventilators from Dyson, who have never made ventilators before.  And that the government didn't get the memo about the EU ordering for ventilators.

However, concentrating on what can WE do, rather than their shortcomings, there is now an additional role for all those people who have a 3d printer at home.  It is possible for us to print out the bands for face visors, and complete them using the plastic from plastic bottles.  The idea is already rolling out in the US and I see no reason why it shouldn't here.
