Revision as of 15:51, 7 April 2020

I am putting this out to evaluate the idea, design, fabricating techniques, and experience with use. I am not suggesting, recommending or endorsing anything.

The first directive is the Hippocratic oath... To make sure we are not doing more HARM than GOOD.

IF YOU ARE A RESEARCHER AND YOU KNOW OF HOW THIS CAN CAUSE HARM... TO ANY MEDICAL CONDITION WE NEED TO HEAR FROM YOU!!!! If you add information, ideas, suggestions, please provide references, letters behind your name... or related work experience.

NOT intended to replace approved masks, but the preserve the supply of approved masks for medical situations, and provide the general public with some (minimal) protection.


RISKS

  • Created a false sense of safety that causes people to avoid or ignore other measures.
  • Concentrates the virus (or other diseases) that allows it to survive longer, or be transmitted easier.
  • Takes resources away from more pressing matters.
  • The distribution of masks spreads the virus.
  • PET against the skin may cause problems.


Inspire

  1. How to get the message out?
  2. Who approves/ prohibits something like this?
  3. Recall mechanism... if it causes problems.
  4. How to promote with causing Fear?
  5. How to reduce the Fear, and have people honestly and accurately evaluate the design.

To Do

  • Research HEPA materials and required properties
  • Risks With PET
  • Research Risks associated with Masks.
  • Make Solid model of Mask Shape
  • Make Prototype
  • Develop Testing Criteria
  • Develop Test Procedure
