It’s an IMPOSSIBLE task but I know you guys are the best at what you do I’m begging for your help Go to eBay.com Type "3M 8210" in the search box. eBay. they are bountiful, but expensive. Ahhh, the free market economy... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78356888 Ebay has already banned the sale of all masks. The listings that you still see are almost all auctions, or listings that were created within the last 24 hours. Ebay has been letting the auctions run and gain bids, but then Ebay is canceling the listing right before or right after the auction bidding ends, so those sales aren't actually making it through to payment and shipping for the most part. There might be a few here and there that get through, but not many. |

Let run about 5 minutes. Turn off ozonator. Let masks sit for an hour in sealed bag. Take masks out and let sit overnight. Perhaps you might have just disinfected used n95 mask? Beats me, but I do it. |

It’s an IMPOSSIBLE task but I know you guys are the best at what you do I’m begging for your help Each Country has a respirator mask. I only could get 10 N95. I felt that I needed to find additional masks. I found the Korean mask KN94 on ebay. Ebay is very hit or miss. Things go up and down. Pay with paypal to protect yourself. The KN94 is not exactly the same as an N95 but it's very close. At any rate I believe its better than bandanna. For more info, you can see this video at 15:50 Good Luck |

It’s an IMPOSSIBLE task but I know you guys are the best at what you do I’m begging for your help Order on ebay or Amazon. I ordered some(construction, non-medical) on ebay a couple weeks ago. Delivery was said to be 3-4 weeks, but they arrived in 3 days. And, get this, by way of DHL from Huanggan, China. We cooked them in an oven for a while, packaging and all....just in case. Edit: have to add: The gal up front that signed for the delivery came back to me after seeing where it was from, and directly, "I'm not fucking touching that!!" pointing at the package.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 69824568 United States 04/08/2020 05:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Wow thanks for the pin! Quoting: Schiftyschiff Yes I am fortunate to have some, but this thing is apparently going to last much much longer than I hoped Thank you so much for all the feedback fellas Looks like eBay is my best chance You should be rotating them. Put them in the oven ( 170 - 200 degrees for 30 minutes ) that will inactivate the virus. In order to be extra safe, put them into a plastic bag and put them into a 20 day rotation. That means that you only wear mask 1 on day, 1 and day 21. The virus cannot survive on the mask for 20 days. If you can't find them, then I would suggest you make some sewn ones. Apparently a company is going to release some plans on the internet next week on how to make N95 grade sewn masks by adding a blue shop towel into the middle of them. |

They stop 95% of particles >0.3 microns in size. The N95 is the USA Code, KN95 is China code, KF94 is Korea code and FFP2 is the EU code, this includes the UK. KN95, KF95 and FFP2 face masks are N95 face mask alternatives & N95 equivalents. They are all the same." source: [link to www.magicwhiteboard.co.uk (secure)] |

[link to www.amazon.com (secure)] only need one per person. order the extra mats that go inside. PM 2.5 they say one mat inside can be used up to a week. |

I’m not an expert by any means I just know that these masks are better than the alternatives If it has to happen I will figure out a way to hopefully sanitize and reuse the ones I currently have yea make sure to keep them. i saw someone else who swore UV works. he made a box with 1 UV light on each side and every night he puts all his stuff in there. his mask. gloves (after washing them already) and watch etc |
