Thanks.

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 ?

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.

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

That's looks more like a Jeff Bezos and Amazon sweat shop. The point is, 50 masks for $45 what did you expect, Prime Rib?

I'm assuming his/her answer to your last question would be " No ". Another Typhoid Mary.

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.

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!
