I made a lot of face masks ..

I was in the Philippines at the beginning of pandemic.. I arrived their on the 15th of Jan, 2020, and came back here in Au. on the 25th of February. Two weeks before I flew back to Au. they cancelled flights to and from China and Taiwan..I started worrying about catching this virus but couldn't get any face masks, they were all sold out..But I managed to make one to wear on the plane.. Very lucky that my flight was not cancelled..We're supposed to fly back to the Philippines at the end of March, but three weeks after I arrived back , here in Au.. all flights were cancelled and lockdowns begun.. Face masks became mandatory.. I received orders of 40 cloth face masks from a store owners for their employees, but some of their customers also placed orders.. So I kept making them.. At $20 each, I sold about 60 pieces, then stopped selling them, and started giving them away to my friends and my neighbours.. and of course to all my family members.. I thought, it's better than disposable ones.. Better for the environment anyway.. I know none of us like wearing it, but because we have to, which do you prefer to wear, cloth face masks or disposable ones?..
