CDC says wear a mask. CDC has got nothing to do with the Huffington Post Linked article nor an endorsement of the home grown "How to" masks in the article.
Take you T-shirt, bandana or other material you are considering to use for mask "filtering" material: hold it up and look at a good light source. All the light you see through the mask are openings for WuFlu to pass through. A N95 masks blocks 95% of very small (0.03 micron) test particles. masks also have a wire that you form over the bridge of the nose and depress on upper cheeks to act as a seal. The designs with pleats/fold are for are for expansion over nose/chin, not extra fiter layers.
You be the judge: placebo or better than nothing. Just don't think the CDC says it meets any "Standard".
