     In the time of Coronavirus, Your very own mask

     

    [dropcap]A[/dropcap]s Coronavirus attacks cities and countries, the fear is that supplies of masks and ventilators will just not be sufficient. For people hunkered down at home in self-quarantine in deserted cities, here’s something to smile at – the sheer ingenuity of shaping a working mask out of two mundane items -paper towels and rubber bands!

    No masks around? This French effort gives you a quick and easy mask without any sewing with few materials needed. Probably not for ER but great for a daily walk. Take a look at this video!

    Check out this video to see the street smarts of humans. This might be a Frenchman but he seems to be an Indian at heart for he knows all about the very desi skill of jugad!
