User ID: 43674430 United States 02/13/2020 01:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | America's largest mask Manufacturing company. Quoting: Jake Check out their inventory numbers below [link to www.progearhealth.com (secure)] The second largest company in America offshored all its production to Mexico, and has promised all future production to China. That was smart....NOT. It's like these people are trying to go out of business. The current coronavirus situation may result in a change of plans. Only an executive order can change that I assume that the president of the company and / or the board of directors have already put the move to China on hold. Not an issue. The issue is, if you are planning on buying some masks, ordering today on Amazon would be a good idea. Next week may be too late or possibly expect to pay more. >(S)<Sims |

Rosicrucian1 User ID: 78248401 Canada 02/13/2020 01:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Went to pick up some n95 masks today and was told by a staff member between us they've pretty much sold out and that they sold 6 months worth of stock in 24 hours and aren't restocking Also no Goggles left and the full suits are almost gone too, they limited us to 5 masks each! Just thought id give people the heads up incase your planning on getting some. Quoting: Mamabear93 I'm about half hour from London. Not looking good, especially as the health secretary on live news advised public to not wear masks and washing hands regularly is good enough (to stop a airborne virus lol) Anyone else feel like we're living in a movie atm?! This is crazy. they are hoping Whitey gets it and dies then we all be equal.. |

And if that's hard to breathe thru, for a bit more money you can get them with valves that open so you can exhale. N99's (UK equivalent FFP3's) are better as they filter up to 0.3 microns. N95's (FFP2's) only filter up to 0.6! They don't use the N here in the UK, they use FFP's: N95 = FFP2's N99 = FFP3's Last Edited by Lagertha on 02/13/2020 01:58 PM ------------------------------------- "I've Seen Enough Of War.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 78126439 United Kingdom 02/13/2020 02:03 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thought the general public wouldn’t be smart enough to raid the hardware stores so that’s disconcerting. I haven’t seen anyone else wearing a mask yet despite all the empty stock. One thing I noticed is that all of the Chinese students here that used to wear masks before the outbreak and don’t seem to be now. Probably for fear of being lynched. |

This is crazy. Yea, I've seen a few officials making that statement, which to me is irresponsible & criminal. I'm going to have a go at making my own masks from large clear water bottles. A clear plastic mask will double as goggles & a nose/mouth mask. No I have to figure something out to cover ears. This is a business opportunity waiting for someone to grab & take hold of it here in our countries. |

User ID: 75394427 Canada 02/13/2020 02:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You need earplugs, the ear canal where germs incubate and then enter the respiratory system. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77202488 I'm thinking those Winter ear-muffs would do the trick, though maybe hot in warmer climates. Could strip the warm fuzzy materials & replace with heavy-duty cotton that is removable & washable.??? |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 78472133 Greece 02/13/2020 02:33 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Chinese embassies around the world are sourcing masks of any kind to send back to China. Many Chinese tourists and "tourists" are scanning every pharmacy in the country for any kind of mask. There is a shortage in the market and since many of them are coming from China, the actual cost of single surgical mask has risen by some hundred percent. Many pharmacists are refusing to sell to Chinese customers since they tend to buy all of the stock, thus causing problems for other customers. |
