TO MASK OR NOT TO MASK?



by Sam J Christopher


Strange, that a little palm-sized piece of cloth, can elicit so much social, political and even religious fervour and controversy. Even to the possible toppling of governments!

Being an avid DIY-er, masks are not alien to me. (I have a few types on the wall in my modest workshop.)
