DUH. Toilet paper is easier to find right now, sir, than masks!
My neighborhood is gathering supplies and I am borrowing a sewing machine to begin making masks for the hospital workers (and yes, I will finally get one myself because I am going to be able to make one.)
I went online and ordered a “Buff.” This is put over the head and sits on the neck like a turtleneck. When you need it, you simply pull it up to cover the mouth and nose. Looks comfortable and has 50SPF. Clearly, not N95 protection but it fits snugly (stretch fabric). I ordered mine on Amazon since I had difficulty with the Buff site. It was about $25. They come in lots of colors and patterns but most were sold out.
I am awaiting delivery so that’s all I know. We strictly stay home but if there’s an emergency requiring a doctor or store visit, I’ll be prepared.
