I tell people you can reuse if you hang in the sun on clothesline for 2-3 days
as long as was not used by someone who was ill with covid or someone has not coughed in your face
but, as always, #notarealdoctor
I just left the two masks my wife and I used on the top of the black dashboard.  Parked in the sun, it should get plenty hot enough to kill any virus, especially when it is going to sit there for 3 days.

Heat will degrade the plastic fibers. This seems much too hot. Oven level heat.

I'd just like to point out, these things were not designed for anything other than single use. Gotta do what you gotta do, but they are supposed to be used once and properly remove and disposed of.

Mask is paper except for elastic straps and I know it is for 1 time use, but these are not ordinary times.  On mainland one place is sterilizing 40k masks in a room at once.  Not sure how they are doing it, but said it can be reused 20 times that way.  I know if using heat, temp has to get up to 158F to kill virus.  If elastic bands fail or seem damaged, I will grab a new one.  I just used it for 2 hours of shopping and don't plan to use the same mask more than twice.  My daughter is sending me several washable cloth masks with the replaceable disposable
 inserts.  I will have them and 100 inserts early next week.  Then I can keep my N95s for what I had bought them for which is woodworking.

A buddy of mine bought exactly that, ozone machine.

Both of us are a bit concerned how he should use it safely. He hasn’t done anything with it yet.

You check recently if the machine works?

Better check now while maybe parts are still available and can be delivered.

machine works
had been using it a couple times a week in my office crawl space
and to get the smell out of my car after I bring soil home from home depot

just let the ozone break down natural, or air the area out before entering
ozone has a distinct smell, so you know when it's gone and safe

The sun will beat anything to death.  PVC pipes, tires, lumber, paint, people and animals, plants, and just about everything else.

Absolutely disgusting!

It appears another American company has prioritized profits over people.  N95 mask manufacturer, 3M, has been revealed to be prioritizing sales of their N95 masks to foreign countries over orders from Florida!  Their official reason, those countries came over and paid in cash.   :wtf:




This is yet more proof of the pitfalls of allowing capitalism to operate in areas of the economy where it should not operate (i.e., the health care industry).

Another disgusting example of a price gouging masks this time in New Jersey!

Yeah, it is his right to make money, but not in the face of the common good during this pandemic.

Mayor    Gov. Ige tonight issued a "request" that everyone who goes out into the community wear some sort of mask or cloth over their mouth and nose.

Good news for bank robbers!   :thumbsup:

Saw Green out for walk with his wife. No mask for either. He’s also on TV sorting PPE that came in. No mask and literally in the face of the airmen sorting the PPE. So much for leading by example. . .

Green needs to go back to issuing medical maryjane prescriptions to paying customers.

Wearing masks is like public transit, country music, smoking dope, and having kids.  It's fine.  Just for other people.

If he wants people to call him Governor, maybe he should start acting like one.   :geekdanc:
