I would never have thought that TRS tech would turn to making your own facemasks. I've looked online for masks, and there are none readily available, and there's scammers and price gouging.
I decided to make my own. There's a ton of videos on how to make your own from a t-shirt, bandana, and pillow cases. Some require sewing, some just require scissors, an old t'shirt and rubberbands, and some just require an old t-shirt and scissors.
I went with an old t-shirt and scissors. You'll cut the shirt to have ties behind your head, instead of rubberbands behind your ears.
After looking at a bunch of videos I chose this one;
This one has you using 2-layers of a 100% cotton t-shirt. Other videos are just having you use one layer.
If you have a gap at the crown of your nose, you can fill that in with t-shirt scrap.
Maybe @Uncle Gump can pass this on to his pizza crew. Best thing is that it's washable and reusable.
Stay safe!
EDIT:
The first video showed how to make a mask from the lower half of a t-shirt. This one makes a mask from the upper half:
