Here's an idea of mine that I extend to anyone with the resources available. (surgical masks aren't the cheapest things to buy)
- 1. Buy a mass pack of surgical masks (50, 100).
- 2. Hang out near public transport (trains, buses)
- 3. Offer the masks for free/sell them
- 3.a Ask for donations towards more masks (my choice)
It might not be on the same level as tackling ebola, but I think trying to help Stop the Spread of flu and common colds during the Winter season is a good goal.
IMPORTANT:Using the masks to stop
catching the flu or colds isn't that effective.
Using the masks to stop
spreading is effective.
So try and give masks to people who are coughing or sneezing, if they want them.
Try to use latex free ones: you don't want to give latex to people who are allergic to latex!
