I treated a COVID patient today and did just this. It was really easy to use a skin friendly hypafix or mepore that you can cut and fit around your eyes to seal tight the mask. I certainly felt more protected.
I saw a picture in one of the Philippine papers I read periodically during the week. The man had taken a water dispenser jug and cut the bottom off, and shaped it to fit over his shoulders.
I’m not sure what he did about the top (I’m guessing plugged or taped it but not clear in the picture. I was thinking you could do something with that like, a good find filter paper at the bottom, a back back with some type of canister type filtered intake air and a small fan/blower (say from a computer) to assist air intake and vacuum cleaner hose to the top.
With the right filters you probably cover both intake and exhaust air.
Just might have a problem grabbing a cab or uber ride—or your own car unless convertible or sunroof.
