COVID-19 resources

I am no longer updating this page. My new page is at
https://www.compinstructor.com/2020-resources/

This page started with Mississippi and Tennessee. Then I kept adding family member locations in other states. I know it keeps growing, but it is easier to update this page than keep sending emails to my family. Check back as often as you like to see what else you may find useful.

DIY Mask - paper towel.
"Bottom line: Paper towel captured fewer particles than other DIY mask materials tested by researchers at Cambridge. However, if it is the only material you have, it is better than nothing."
