Home-made cloth masks are not medical masks, but covering our face when leaving the house is a voluntary public health measure that can slow down the spread of Covid-19.

There is a lot I want to say when I look at the family photo taken in Singapore more than ten years ago.  The afternoon was blisteringly hot. I used to only see ourselves in this photo. It was the five of us perched on your back. A nice family shot from a holiday abroad.

That bath towel, you know the one…  The one with the frayed edge, the one that has seen too many loads of black denims and turned grey, the one that feels more like sandpaper on your skin than a soft wipe after your shower, the out-of-shape rectangle no one wants to take to the beach? That one.

So you now are interested in face-masks.  When did that happen? Last year? Two months ago? Last week?
