You must be a poor if you don't have a custom biohazard suit.

Trump said during his presser yesterday that a nice scarf would work.

The Party Store in Denham has lots of masks, but I don’t know if they are still open!

Which actually will help. Better than nothing, not as good as a surgical which is not as good as a N95.

Anything that will cover your mouth and nose is better than nothing. More to stop you from spreading stuff but it doesn’t have to be n95 to stop a few particles here and there. Your average neck gaiter is okay and looks cooler than a mask.

You won't find them. Literally every mask being made is going to hospitals or government. Amazon even says on their site that they refuse to sell to general public.

Good luck finding even a surgical mask much less an N95 (which is what you need).

China has plenty of KN95 masks available but the FDA won’t let them in the country because they haven’t approved the plants that manufactured them

N-95 needs to be fitted. They have not determined if this is an aerosolized (airborne) pathogen.

At UW in Seattle they are wearing normal surgical masks unless they are in treatment rooms using nebulizers on positive patients.

ETA: to be clear N-95 are only required for airborne pathogens. In hospital all other pathogens (droplet) use of surgical mask is appropriate for Infection Prevention.

Was flipping channels 2 days ago and a home shopping show in Texas is selling them. 5 for 7.99. I don’t have any financial interest in the company. Just passing it along for anyone that wants some before a run on masks happens. 1-877-899-0099.

Edit: I don’t take any responsibility for this product...haha

Not disagreeing. For people to say that a scarf is not better than no mask at all are just trying to be liberal assholes trying to say the world is going to end.

Indian Government PSA on simple mask

It's not N95 level effective,

but I'll take 70% effective all day over nothing.
