Those are masks that could have been better used by people who actually need them, who can't - because those masks are no longer available to the people who actually need them.
One mask in the hands of someone who doesn't need them, is one mask fewer that someone who does need them, has access to.
As for the N95 masks - some people had them already. They shouldn't be obligated to give them up. I would just like to see people using them responsibly and not wastefully.
I have boxes of nitrile gloves from a couple years ago. They're for people who work with dangerous substances such as printers ink. Very thin, but not as thin as the latex exam gloves. Much more durable, and they can be sanitized for re-use as long as they don't break. I'm not giving them up. I actually use them, when it's appropriate for me to use them.
