Joe Slatter, ‘Veil Stool’

Problem:

The amount of plastic waste being produced due to the Coronavirus Pandemic is shocking. Despite reusable alternatives, billion's of face masks are being used each month; these are often ending up in landfill or littering our environment.

Globally, we use 129 billion face masks every month. That translates to 3 million per minute. - National Geographic.

Piece:

The Veil Stool is made from over 4,000 disposable face masks collected from the streets of London during the Coronavirus pandemic. On collection, the face masks were disinfected with ozone spray and quarantined in sunlight for 4 weeks. The stool was created on an experimental discovery that 3-ply face masks can be spun into a soft yarn as well as being melted into a dense polypropylene structure.

9 States Reopen ACA Insurance Enrollment To Broaden Health Coverage

Some state exchanges have begun allowing new enrollment to help ease consumers' worry about health care costs. It's also so the uninsured won't inadvertently spread the coronavirus by avoiding care.

“An expanding number of state health exchanges are reopening enrollment this month to help uninsured residents gain coverage during the COVID-19 pandemic.”                                

“-The states that have recently reopened exchanges — Colorado, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New York, Rhode Island, and Washington — have more flexibility than most states to create a special enrollment period because they run their own health exchanges.

Another such state, California, announced Friday that its exchange, which had been open for reasons unrelated to the outbreak, will continue to allow residents to enroll through June because of the upheaval caused by the coronavirus. The District of Columbia is also allowing residents to sign up for coverage for reasons unrelated to the outbreak-”
