[TheForge] Copper vs. coronavirus

[Walter]

This is an interesting thread.

Regarding face masks.  The hand sewn face masks that volunteers are 
making are worthless in protecting the user from the virus because a 
virus is so small that it goes through the openings. The N95 mask works 
because the mesh in it is super fine. It also has to seal against the 
face so beards should be shaved to use them. (Not too good for many of 
we smiths.)

Therefore, copper ions in the fabric is probably not a solution.

Stay safe so stay at home.
