The original MIT press release [1] was posted two weeks ago [2] without much discussion.<p>[1]: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.mit.edu&#x2F;2020&#x2F;reusable-silicone-rubber-face-mask-0709" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.mit.edu&#x2F;2020&#x2F;reusable-silicone-rubber-face-mask-...</a><p>[2]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=23787567" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=23787567</a><p>This reusable silicone mask still uses a disposable filter, but the disposable N95 filter requires much less material than a disposable N95 mask.<p>Look forward to seeing a timeline for production and whether the desired cost pans out.
