(the 1918 pandemic flu)
like grains of reaped grass
armies farmlands and packed slums
were felled by the plague
it still seems as though
a good mask will help prevent

The Ka-Chu (TM) Facecover
updated November 18, 2022Dear Visitor!
We are still experimenting with ways to restore a semblance of normalcy to our association with others, which was severely disrupted by Covid-19.
Perhaps an improved facecover will save a few lives as new surges continue to arise. It is worth looking in to.
This report probably is more than you ever wanted to know about facecovers. More than a few friends no longer communicate with me for fear I will veer to this subject.
The name, Ka-Chu, is a portmanteau of kerchief, sneezing, and haiku, all of which are interests of mine.
------------------
The single layer, triangular design
of the Ka-Chu comfortably covers your
nose and mouth, and ties back around
your head with a knot or bow.
The Ka-Chu
has a closed lower seal and good particle
filtration that you can test for yourself:
compare filtration: n95 to ka-chu
The Ka-Chu will not slip or fog your glasses when properly tied - and the seal can be adjusted as needed by means of snaps. It folds into a stowable configuration when not in use.
The Ka-Chu is easy to wash and dries quickly. I don't know why someone would wear a protective mask, a germ magnet, more than one day without washing it.
The CDC no longer recommends washing disposable masks, or using them more than one day.
The negative environmental impact, long-term cost, and problems of resupply are things to consider when relying solely on disposable protective masks.
I hope you will consider including a Ka-chu 4-pack in your home emergency kit.
