About Masks: A simple way to adapt a mask for someone with aids is to replace the ties with one much long single "round" of narrow elastic. To put the mask on, you pull the elastic toward to bottom and slip it over your head and behind your hair at the nape of your neck. Then you pull the elastic, moving the mask downward, and slip the other side of the round over the top of your head. The elastic on my mask is 27" long, which means a 29" piece of 1/4" elastic to allow a one inch overlap. When you don't need the mask, simply pull the top part of the elastic forward and down, dropping the mask below your chin. I've found the elastic is far better than a narrow strip of bias tape, because tying it behind your head often means getting your hair tangled in the knot. Lots of cloth masks have channels on both sides, so they can be easily adapted to the longer elastic to go at the nape of your neck and over and behind the top of your head. The elastic isn't a problem with aids or glasses and is easy to pull up when you need a mask, or down when you don't. FWIW, citizens of our small town on the Oregon coast have been extremely good about wearing masks. Even though we had lots of tourists in August and September, we've only had 15 cases of Covid, the first group from one Pacific Seafood employee who lived in two and brought it home to his family, and the second group a couple of weeks after an especially nice weekend (read: thousands more visitors in town) when nine motel employees at two motels caught Covid but, thanks to quick action, didn't spread it to anyone else. Even in early April, local stores refused to let anyone enter who wasn't wearing a mask. So, masks can be a bother, but I believe that they really do keep Covid from spreading.
