If your Facebook feed is anything like ours, you have relatives posting photos of the masks they bought to fight the spread of coronavirus:

But what if there are no masks? Are there alternatives? The Alphaville team at the Financial Times says to use a diaper:

Some people have been experimenting with bras and sanitary towels. But our exhaustive research has concluded that a nappy is probably the best bet. 1) it's breathable. 2) made of very similar non-woven fabrics. 3) easy to convert into a face mask. — FT Alphaville team (@ftalpha) February 28, 2020

Hopefully, it doesn’t get so bad that people start using bras and sanitary napkins as masks:

Paranoid ? Some have been using sanitary towels & bras as a mask I have a mask I fetched home from hospital but I just use a thick scarf round my face when I go out & hope for the best !That mask from screwfix is a bit ugly to walk round in?https://t.co/19GwQK7ofO — Mary Denise (@MaryDenise22) February 28, 2020

But, if it does get that bad, here are some handy videos to bookmark just in case. . .

First up, the bra mask:
