America's largest mask Manufacturing company.

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.
 Quoting: Jake


That was smart....NOT.

It's like these people are trying to go out of business.
 Quoting: Crypto-Tard


The current coronavirus situation may result in a change of plans.
 Quoting: Terces Egassem


Only an executive order can change that
 Quoting: Jake


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.

There are still masks on eBay but prices have gone up
 Quoting: Miss Pixie


You'll find most are 'available' on these places, but they'll take your cash then call /email you telling you they've none in stock until June time.

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.

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.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72408109


Wouldn't N100 be better than N95?

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.
 Quoting: oniongrass


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

Re: Went to screwfix to grab some masks and..
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.

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.

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.???

N95 is not going to help you, unless you wear it for 30 days straight and get your food intravenously dipshit. Try staying on top of the vectors for this virus because it includes everything from a 24-day incubation period, to airborne AND physical contact, as well as a two week lifespan.. LOLZ LOLZ LOLZ LOLZ!!!

But, muh muh muh muh muh muh N95 MASK!

I got some here in the States I'd be happy to ship to you for $1000 each unit?

When getting your tyveck suit, remember to get one big enough to go over your clothes, as well as your winter coat. Most likely the tyveck will be good enough to protect against mold from houses that have been sealed up for a while.

Masks won't do shit, distance and build up immunity, you ideally need the following on hand:

> Oil of Oregano
> Iodine
> Vitamin D3
> Liposomal Vit C (Home made)

and then ability to lock yourself away for like a month or so.

Re: Went to screwfix to grab some masks and..
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.

Sold out up north too. Luckily I got a couple of boxes a few weeks back. There's some on eBay but they're stupidly expensive, over £70 for 10 ffp3 masks.
