For the blue 3 ply masks?


I would not call any of those prices price gouging. Over the last 3 months the market on this stuff has exploded and Chinese factories have raised prices ridiculously high. Then shipping prices have blown up. The market is flooded now though and prices are starting to drop but the first masks that came in to the states were air freighted in and the cost was a lot higher than what's coming in now.

Never understood how this term came to refer to the perfectly normal action of market demand setting the price of goods.

Blame China. They raised the prices. And then shipping became ridiculous.

The store in my hometown is charging $95 for a box of 50. I had to ask my parents to send me a picture before I could believe them.

I’m exposed every week As healthcare provider and use about 5 masks per week... seems like a good deal... and I don’t get n-95 either

Just keep your hand over your mouth. It's equally effective.

Americans - "Stop buying cheap Chinese shite and only buy stuff made in USA"

Also Americans - "60 cents for a mask is unconscionable"

It isn't gouging. Although available, most of em are junk 3 ply masks and are coming in from overseas at ridiculous costs.

I hate Wal mart as much as most, but this aint their issue.

But there is literally no reason to mask, unless you are going somewhere that mandates it. I had to wear one to a Dr Appt last week.

why the frick would you buy 50 masks. Seems pretty dumb to me.

You do realize the WHO put out yesterday that asymptomatic people can't infect other people. Masks are fricking useless.
