Previously I did some research into whether hepa filters would work. Even though COVID is technically smaller that the hepa filters, it seems COVID is a "nano particle" which means it doesn't "fly" smoothly and bounces around. https://smartairfilters.com/en/blog/can-...oparticles

When creating a mask, the nose bridge is essential and I'd add it to the tee shirt idea above. I've seen paper clips, pipe cleaners and even foil folded a few times taped to the masks so they will grip the brodge of your nose better.
