Mask makers are helping us beat the pandemic

“At long last , we have finally made a truly game-changing scientific breakthrough in preventing the spread of COVID-19. We have found a disease-control tool that, when used properly, can reduced transmission by somewhere between 50% and 85%. The tool is cheap and remarkably low-tech. You can even make one at home.”

From “The Power of Masks,” Time Magazine, July 20-July 27, 2020

The Covid-19 crisis created a new heroine in my eyes: my dear partner and spouse, Leola Olive Jewett-Verzuh.

When the virus hit, she pondered what she could do to help. Within a few days, she began making beautiful face masks that she sent to all her family members. Some of them work in hospitals and care homes.

She then set a goal of 1,000 masks that she offered to local health care facilities. At the time of this post, she had passed the 500 mark.

I have no doubt she’ll achieve her goal and will earn her place among the heroes and heroines helping others through this difficult period.

Thank you, Leola, for your kind heart!

Love, Ron
