Masks - what works well and what doesn't
Study: some cotton cloth masks are about as effective as standard surgical masks, but alternatives such as neck warmers made of thin, stretchy material may be a bad idea.

I am making 100% cotton reusable masks with two layers of fabric for just $10 each. Shaped masks in men's, women's, children's sizes (not recommended for children under 3 years old) or pleated surgical style masks in one size. If you would like to order some or find out more, please message me for further information.
For those of you who can sew and want to make your own masks, please see my earlier post on mask patterns - there are a lot of free patterns available that you can download, and lots of tutorials if you need help.
Stay safe and well - wear a mask, keep 2m distance, avoid touching your face, and wash your hands frequently!
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
