I called Home Depot, they said any face masks they get in go directly to the local hospitals.

Make your own, very simple 30 seconds or less.

A clean handkerchief and 2 rubber bands. Fold the handkerchief 2 times slip the rubber bands on each side.

Presto.:)

Snip those strips you just cut at the top and bottom.

Now cover your face with the unsnipped bit, and use the snipped ends to tie over your head and around your neck.

That's it.
Double layer 100% quilters cotton is recommended for home made masks. Knit fabrics are not as effective. They don’t have a close enough weave. Better than nothing though.

Thanks! Just ordered some. It was easy and they take PayPal. I ordered some from PulseTV but when it arrived it had a 2011 expiration date on it. I looked it up and the expiration date on hand sanitizer is the date at which the active ingredient will likely fall below 90% effectiveness. That stuff was 9 years old so I doubt it was much good at all.

ask your pharmacist where your medication is made at least 50% manufacturing in China

If this is the same product (Artnaturals Alcohol Based Hand Sanitizer Gel) sold on AMZ (I do believe it is) not sure this is the best santizer to buy."Please be cautious as alcohol is listed as the 4th ingredient so it is at least below 50%. Purell has alcohol as 1st ingredient and it around 70% alcohol.
Also, instructions say to thoroughly wash your hands before applying this product. I don't think you can rely on this product to protect you as a substitute for soap and water."

Highway robbery! $2/ounce. I can get a grass-fed ribeye cheaper than that. LOL

It was $5.99 for 8 ounces, made by a company called artnaturals. Unscented, 62% ethyl alcohol with aloe, hemp seed, broccoli extract, and a bunch of other weird things that make me wonder why they'd put that stuff in there, but it's all harmless so who really cares.

It's plant-based, and has vitamin E and jojoba so less damaging to your skin than Purell, at least.

I don't know how often those shipments come in since I work mid-day and the shelves are -usually- empty by then. But it's something to consider. They're not impossible to find, just has to be a matter of timing.
I got mine yesterday in the "travel" section at Walmart on 466. It finally dawned on me to look there
hope this helps everyone

I don’t believe green goo contains any alcohol. It says it’s effective against germs, but says nothing about viruses.
