Re: Impossible task... can anyone help me find some N95 masks
I have a few cases and I work at lowes. We cannot get anymore in until after this thing ends they are all going to hospitals now. I was able to buy a shit load back in january before most americans knew this was coming. Honestly just use a dust mask and keep your distance. N95 will protect you if you have to get close to people otherwise the dust masks and social distancing will be fine.

Wow thanks for the pin!

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

I am a retail worker and absolutely need these masks to keep me infection free

Wearing a mask won't prevent you from getting infected. But if you are infected and don't know it, and you're contagious, wearing a mask can be a part of preventing you from infecting others.

Go to eBay.com

Type "3M 8210" in the search box.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78224348


eBay. they are bountiful, but expensive. Ahhh, the free market economy...
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78356888


all kinds of them on ebay

bit pricey but they are there


[link to www.ebay.com (secure)]
 Quoting: Jake


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.

Get a portable ozone maker like this:

Outside, throw used masks in trash bag with ozonater.seal bag. 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.

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

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.


cheers

If you are that worried about it and the do-it-yourself won't work for you, I would try the N99s on Amazon.

 Quoting: Schiftyschiff


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.

I'm Sorry I MEANT KF94 not KN.
my apologies! KN is CHINA FUCK THEM

"In summary, they are basically all the same. 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."

Only ones you can get are from the Chinese. Some have DHL shipping to US. Try Alibabba or DHgate.
