[Serious] Can you sew? Can you save a life?

Based on that article, I provisionally modify my earlier objections. It seems that a homemade mask is better than no mask at all, but not nearly as good as a proper one.

My chief concern is that people who make their own masks may, as the article implies, get a false sense of security and not see the need for things like self-isolation and social distancing. It's still clearly better to stay at home with no mask at all than to go out with a so-so mask.
