Does anyone know where my husband & I can get free or low-cost masks to wear in public? Both of us have been "yelled at" for not having one. We do not have a sewing machine & we are not anyone special (like health-care workers or first responders).

10 for $15, free shipping, no tax, ship rightaway from Oklahoma. You can buy 10, 20, 50 or 100. The seller has feedback of 4400 and as far as the masks, all the feedback is very good, and they've already had 454 masks sales.

Try a bandana, or look online. End of April seems kind of late to be asking.

[VIN574]

Here's a link... Nextdoor - local cotton mask made by Villagers (https://nextdoor.com/g/39cjlbyaf/)

Check the Classifieds section here too, there are a few sellers making mask there also.

[ficoguy]

A pair a tightey whitey jockey shorts will work. If you really want to keep people away, add skid marks.

[villagetinker]

Search the classified portion of this site, there is a woman selling very nice masks for $3 each we have purchased 8 for our use, very satisfied. There are a few ads, hers is the only one for this price, she has ordering info in the ad.

It's obvious that up until now you haven't felt a need to wear a mask. I would not let others "yelling" at you intimidate your decision. I do not own a mask nor plan on owning one. What I have observed on many others are more of a fashion statement than a medical device. Anyone who feels comfort in wearing a mask of any type should continue to do so; regardless their effectiveness'. I will continue in my beliefs and take the same precaution that I take during any flu season and a mask and stay at home imprisonment are not included.

[bruce099]

You can easily make one out of an old tee shirt or even a man's sock. Even a banana or a scarf will work.

Many people in TV are making masks. There were a number of people posting on the neighborhood app. Anywhere from $3-$5.

[Chloe Girl]

I ordered 50 masks from the website Home - PulseTV (http://www.pulsetv.com) for $49.99 plus shipping and they arrived in about a week. I got notification that they are selling a 5 pack, 5 layer KN-95 respiratory mask for $29.99 plus shipping.

As long as you are adhering to CDC guidelines, no one has a right to "yell" at you for not wearing a mask.

[dunmyer]

Wear a bandana. or Tie handkerchiefs together.
any face covering will help.

[patsyopnp]

Amazon has masks for reasonable price (50 masks for $40) and delivery in about one week.

[speedo8357]

I hope you are in a minority of one. It is attitudes like yours that has led to over 1 million cases in the US.

Actually it is precisely this attitude that will lead to a level of herd immunity which will eventually kill this virus. Our continued existence of living "in a bubble" -- (and no reference to TV lifestyle) -- will result in a longer lifespan for the virus. Learned epidemiologists are espousing this philosophy -- just not getting the media play they deserve. Yes -- if you have a compromised immune system, by all means, isolate until this virus runs its course.

[Jclausen]

I have paper medical masks. I can give you a few for free. We got them at a smoke/vape shop on 441. They charged $90 for 40 masks. I bought 2 boxes and gave them out to my friends and neighbors. Call if you still need them. Lisa Payne 518_221_4491

[Joe C.]

If you buy a mask, chances are that it is "made in China". I'd think twice before sticking one of those over my face. I wore a mask today for the first time only because I was at the doctor's office.
I'm one of those who believes in "herd immunity" and rejects "the new normal". It should be called "the new ABNORMAL'.:boom:

So you do not believe in social distancing either? I guess you want to get COVID and take your chances? My next question to you is ... do you not care that you could carry the virus and give it to others?

Yea - ditto - where do you get hand sanitizer and clorox and lysol - stores are all sold out - N95 masks - millions and millions but none available to the great unwashed - frustrating.

If you have paper towels, rubber bands, and a stapler, you can make your own. See the YouTube video. ----www.youtube.com/watch?v=usKgChGqVl0&feature=youtu.be----

I ordered via prime face masks and it used to be 2 day delivery, now it will be over 2 weeks to arrive. I checked 50 other places and delivery is not till end of June to July.
Surprised only one person making them ?

[Two Bills]

Shopping, or on public transport? Yes I would wear one.
Walking in open spaces for exercise? No. There is no point if social distancing is observed, which I definitely do.
But 'Face Mask Shaming' is wrong wherever it occurs.

[LSTOWELL]

You can easily make one if he has an extra pair of socks!!.. Google it..make mask out of socks..been all over Facebook..you cut the toes off and the ankles off..then on the ends of the piece cut in about 1/2 inch or so and cut down a couple inches..use those cut ends to go around your ears

I don't know prime masks, you must referring to Amazon. The link and info I provided and you quoted was a place on eBay and they say same day shipping and prices are very good when I see what others are asking. Check their feedback on other mask buyers and it's excellent. They also had so far 454 mask sales, so they have the product. I've bought from eBay since 2004 over 900 times and never a problem. Most provide free shipping, just always remember to check the feedback of the seller. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from this seller and if you use Paypal, it's guaranteed by Paypal and also your credit card company.

Go to the $1 store and buy an bandana and Elastic hair ties. Then go online and pull up directions to make a mask from a bandana. It’s easy and you don’t need a sewing machine . Cost $2 for each mask and they are washable and can make many different ones to go with your outfits

[cherylncliff]

There are numerous videos on Google to make masks from t-shirts, socks or even paper towels. No sewing required. Just do a google search.

[JillClancy]

If you buy the blue shop paper towels and put them inside your cloth mask it gives you as much protection as an N95 mask. I take one towel fold it in thirds and cut in half so it fits right inside your cloth mask.

[DonnaNi4os]

Masks are now mandatory in most food stores. Masks will not protect YOU from getting the virus but it will protect others from you. It is a matter of protecting your fellow man. Some people will never understand that sadly.

[mykupkake]

You don’t need a sewing machine. Use a bandanna, or a hand towel they are more effective. If you have a computer go to YouTube and see how to make a mask. It is very easy. Good Luck!

Stand firm on NOT wearing a mask....IT IS FOR PEOPLE who are SICK

a streak of brown shoe polish doubles the effectiveness. After reading this thread, I now understand why shampooo bottles have written instructions.

How about a simple bandana? No cost to you.

"Costco to start requiring face masks for all shoppers." Costco to start requiring face masks for all shoppers | Fox News (https://www.foxnews.com/food-drink/costco-start-requiring-face-masks-shoppers-coronavirus). Starting May 4. I am wondering how many other places of business will require a mask.

[Barborv]

Wearing a mask should of been mandatory from the get-go. Its not for your protection, but protects others from you. Until people understand that, its just going to keep spreading. We would probably be able to get back to some kind of normalcy if EVERYONE WORE A MASK!!!! And as far as rights? Well you have the right to drink, but not to drink and drive, free speech, but not shout out bomb , etc. Laws are made to protect people, and this should be one of them at the current time.(not talking about arrests, but fines.)

[Cindyarchulita]

Easy to make no sew masks.Go online they have loads of directions.They are really easy to make.

[Cindyarchulita]

There is no law that says you have to wear a mask. And I know people who couldn’t get them.If store make it mandatory then they should have them for a small fee maybe 25 cents for purchase at the door for people who can’t get them.

[Rpjules]

I am currently working on Star War masks for May 4, but have patriotic fabric, strawberries, scrabble, peppermints, etc. $7 each in small, medium, large, XL. Plastic ear savers available for $3 also. All with elastic and reversible.

how about a head scarf...bandana? if you don't have that, you can go on-line and order a couple of yards of cheap cotton fabric, the pattern is not an issue, from JoAnns. or call JoAnns and ask if you can buy a couple of yards of inexpensive cotton fabric for this purpose. You will need to cut squares that are large enough to cover your mouth and nose and to tie behind head. This is a minimalist face mask to be sure, but better than nothing if you were to sneeze after having contracted the virus but not yet symptomatic.

I went to Colony Cleaners today and for a donation to Seeds of Hope received a mask.

[OrangeBlossomBaby]

You can now buy masks at Publix. They're on an end cap near the pharmacy. There's a choice of two black cloth reuseable washable masks for $3.99 and single washable masks in colorful cloth patterns (I don't know how much those are) and a 10-pack of the blue-front fiber-cloth masks (again - I don't know how much those are).

Availability depends on when you go, compared to when it gets delivered. But there were plenty of the colorful ones when I left at closing time today.
