The lily pad thing may make sense mathematically but biologically it's impossible for lily pads to multiply that fast.

That video looks awesome for anyone with access to those parts.
My readings also agree that cotton>poly. One found decent results from 8 layers of fully shrunk Haynes T-shirt material in case that's handy. But the usual problem is studies' applicability since most follow some earlier outbreak with different pathogens. Irritatingly, they all seem to use very small sets of samples, too, judging from the noisy results.
You can probably cut quite a few filters from one HEPA house filter. If it doesn't come apart at the cut edges. Maybe that's a job for cotton, too?
Keeping virus from leaving with speed/size is much easier so a buff as a muffler is probably at least somewhat useful. Not as good at scaring the passersby as a Darth Vader mask, but probably decent at that, too.A woman came up to me and said "I'd like to poison your mind
with wrong ideas that appeal to you, though I am not unkind."

I made a mask in about 30 seconds from a T-shirt, good enough to knock down the giant grasses in my yard. Might make a vid if I get super motivated. Not sure why people are messing with rubber bands. Just leave long strips of cotton and tie behind your head. Rubber bands around the ears looks like the suck.

This site says 6300 fatalities in the US doubling between 2 and 3 days. Even if it's three, that puts 100K dead in 12 days.

We're splitting hairs. It sucks all the way around.
The thing that I think is hard to understand is that 21 days from now if we're still doubling every three days, that number is 800,000 dead. That's April April 26th.

I started a keeping track of confirmed of cases a month or so ago, assuming a doubling every 4 days. Obviously it’s very wrong because so few are tested...but my prediction for today was 344,000 cases in the US. , which would be 1.3 million by April 13.
Not that any of this even matters or is accurate. Just something I started a while back.

Very interesting. ICU doctor in NYC just posted these messages the last two day. He says he thinks the way doctors are using respirators is actually killing patients. He thinks pressurizing the lungs is a huge mistake. He's really trying to get the word out:
