Thanks.

Why spend money? I dont sew well either. Go on line. There are a million non sew masks you can make. And its a little late in the game to be looking for masks

Yes my friend makes them 5 dollars each

Let me know if you need any

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

I ordered 50 masks from the website Home - PulseTV 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.

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

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

Actually it is precisely this attitude that will lead to a level of herd immunity which will eventually kill this 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.

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

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'.

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."

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?

You are entitled to be macho, but you don't have the right to unnecessarily put others at risk.
