Terminology - Face shields (visières de protection) (3) Yoshioka (JP)

Copyright © Françoise Herrmann

The renowned Japanese designer of the Olympic torch for the postponed 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic relays, Tokujin Yoshioka, also designed a face shield, within the context of the COVID 19 shortage of PPE (Personal Protection Equipment). The template for the face shield (included below) was released for free online. Yoshioka called his design Easy-to-make FACE SHIELD because it is a three-step process that requires no fabrication machinery, or even an amateur 3D-printer. Yoshioka was motivated to create and share his design out of gratefulness to frontline healthcare workers, fighting COVID 19. Yoshioka's hope was that the design might be of use, during the emergency shortfall (The Japan Times, April 16, 2020).


The Yoshioka easy-to-make face shield comprises just one part: a piece of PET or like PVC sheet with a thickness of approx.. 2 mm. The Yoshioka face shield can be made at home by anyone with the required PET or PVC film, a pair of scissors, and a small cutting blade. Because the Yoshioka face-shield ingeniously requires the use of eyeglasses to secure the visor in place, covering the user’s face, the Yoshioka easy-to-make face shield also requires a pair of spectacles for use.

Below, the Youtube video where Yoshioka demonstrates the fabrication of his clever easy-to-make face shield.

Irrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Afrid Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Cancer,Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity
