When I went to my office today, there was a washable cotton face mask on my desk. It’s all black with our company’s logo on the lower left (my left). I saw a few on other people’s desks. I think they handed out one per employee. It’s pretty cool as our CEO wore it on TV; there is also a huge market for our company logo’ed clothing. It still smells funny since the masks are made in China, apparently a few months ago in May, so it may take time for the chemicals in the material and dye to dissipate. I’m actually worried that if I wear it to dialysis, a few of the techs will want one too, and I don’t know how to get more, even if I have to buy them.
I heard my parents’ church is also making some custom masks to give out, although I heard they are only making 200. The setup costs got to be pretty high for such a small run as they are printing the church name on the mask in Chinese. Maybe I’ll wear a surgical mask over the church mask… for extra safety.
