One of our pop up epidemiologists for even suggesting it.

“Pop-up epidemiologists!”

better than nothing, eh, and where do you even buy a mask anyways, anywhere?

Ebay sells tons for exorbitant prices.

would be. But it was from some operation in China, so anyone in the world could have got those. I don't think that made a dent in our supply.

By a half-hour later I was reading that we didn't really need them, and I realized at a little over a buck apiece with shipping, I got took. I went in and cancelled the order but was refused. Then I tried to give them away once, but our local FD said they could only use the N95's. Then I heard that we might need the masks after all, so I still have them. Looks like the 59 bucks or so wasn't so bad after all, because I'll be wearing them going grocery shopping at least from now on.

There may be more but I don't want to dig. My husband (RIP) was a house painter so when all this happened I remembered when he would talk about a respirator.
