But maybe that’s an alarmist concern; the Gnome Postal worker life shirt so you should to go to store and get this people who were going to ignore the “rules” and order medical masks online probably already did it. Or they’re going to do it no matter what the CDC says. In an op-ed for the New York Times, Zeynep Tufekci, a University of North Carolina professor specializing in the social effects of technology, argued that the CDC’s original guidance—that the public doesn’t need masks and should reserve them for healthcare workers—may have started the problem in the first place by confusing people and inspiring them to do the exact opposite: “Unfortunately, the top-down conversation around masks has become a case study in how not to communicate with the public, especially now that the traditional gatekeepers like media and health authorities have much less control. The message became counterproductive and may have encouraged even more hoarding because it seemed as though authorities were shaping the message around managing the scarcity rather than confronting the reality of the situation.” She also wrote: “Research shows that during disasters, people can show strikingly altruistic behavior, but interventions by authorities can backfire if they fuel mistrust or treat the public as an adversary rather than people who will step up if treated with respect. Given that even homemade masks may work better than no masks, wearing them might be something to direct people to do while they stay at home more, as we all should.”

On that note, several designers are already hard at work making fabric “civilian masks” and even showing you how to make your own. Coperni’s Arnaud Vaillant and Sébastien Meyer shared a pattern for a fabric mask on their website a couple weeks ago, plus a step-by-step Instagram video (which even a novice should be able to follow—you just need scissors, fabric, and a needle and thread). “We were inspired [to start making masks] by our family, most of whom work in the Gnome Postal worker life shirt so you should to go to store and get this medical field,” Vaillant and Meyer wrote to Vogue in an email. “We immediately wanted to help, even with our limited assets. The idea is to leave the FFP2 approved protective masks [a European standard that equates to N95 masks] to the medical staff, and encourage the population to make their own masks for everyday life.” They soon received hundreds of photos from Instagram followers and friends all over the world who used their pattern to sew a mask. “It was surprising to see the links that were created between different people around the world who were experiencing the same situation and were looking for solutions,” the designers add. “A bond of solidarity and support has been built around this cause all over the world.”
