I tried that and a bunch of other things and it still fogs up my glasses. Maybe my nose is too short or too long.

Cloth to cover your face should be fine.

In theory it sound fine but big government mandate in reality maybe more difficult

Masks and gloves don't seem to be for ordinary citizens, better conserve what you have.
