The ones on Amazon look sketchy. Mostly 1 star reviews. Evidently they come straight from China in an unmarked plastic bag; no box or other packaging. I think I'll pass on those.
Wear masks because they work. Even if you feel rediculous

Where does one get masks for himself and his family?
You make them.
Don't sit back and wait for somebody else to solve this problem for you. And wear wrap around glasses (like shooting glasses) to prevent virus particles from entering your eyes.

Well there you go. Problem not solved lol. So they are not readily available like suggested perhaps? I did no further looking and those were what showed up on Amazon with just a simple search.
I dont like wearing masks. It makes it hard to touch my face.
Nobody wears masks anymore, they're all sold out.
Those aren't mutually exclusive.bay fan said:Bingo. It all boils down to washing your hands WAY more then after you use the bathroom but every time you touch things and about NOT touching your face.ClickClack said:
I agree that if someone is within feet of me and they sneeze in my direction, not covering it at all, that perhaps a mask would help somewhat. But now the mask also has the virus on it, so anytime I touch the mask I need to find a way to sanitize my hands immediately after and every time I touch the mask to do anything.
Do people really think this is practical? How often does someone sneeze in your face?
Just because you wear a mask, doesn't mean you don't wash your hands. You should still continue to wash your hands frequently, and avoid touching your face. The mask serves as a good reminder, to not touch your face.
I'm not worried about the people sneezing directly into my face. I'm worried about them sneezing onto things in my workplace, restaurant, etc....or on their hands and then touching things. Wearing a mask helps prevent this (doesnt eliminate it...but helps).
It will take doing several things differently to stem this...not just one.

Turbulent gas cloud dynamics should influence the design and recommended use of surgical and other masks. These masks can be used both for source control (ie, reducing spread from an infected person) and for protection of the wearer (ie, preventing spread to an unaffected person). The protective efficacy of N95 masks depends on their ability to filter incoming air from aerosolized droplet nuclei. However, these masks are only designed for a certain range of environmental and local conditions and a limited duration of usage.9 Mask efficacy as source control depends on the ability of the mask to trap or alter the high-momentum gas cloud emission with its pathogenic payload. Peak exhalation speeds can reach up to 33 to 100 feet per second (10-30 m/s), creating a cloud that can span approximately 23 to 27 feet (7-8 m). Protective and source control masks, as well as other protective equipment, should have the ability to repeatedly withstand the kind of high-momentum multiphase turbulent gas cloud that may be ejected during a sneeze or a cough and the exposure from them. Currently used surgical and N95 masks are not tested for these potential characteristics of respiratory emissions.
I want to see that picture with a surgical mask on...
Well, I'm thinking until they open up the restaurants, because how you gonna eat with a mask on?jefe95 said:
Like forever?
Or just until we get a vaccine and herd immunity?
I thought I had some masks in my workshop and figured they would be regular dust masks.
Surprised me! Found 2 brand new n95's!

I'm wearing a N95 ( that I reuse everyday) when I'm going to have patient interaction. Cover it with a fabric, home-made, that I wash daily.
Cousin just sent a box of homemade masks. I will reserve some for me & husband to wear for for grocery store visits.

yeah im not wearing one.
Yeah, you can't find regular surgical masks for delivery anywhere inside a month. And then, what's the point.
I know a lot about a little, and a little about a lot.
wrong. It protects quite a bit from othersk2aggie07 said:
It's not about protecting yourself, although it does (some).
n95 not surgical
Was talking about surgical masks.
Had to go to grocery store today. Wore a procedure mask. Probably looked stupid. Didn't care.

16:30 mark...The Korean doctor finds it odd that the US and other European countries don't use masks.

it's fascinating to me how resistant people are to wearing a mask in public
honestly had no clue it was this cultural deal that would maintain resistance in a crisis

So OSHA and whomever else rate masks for certain protections - then I'm to believe these government BABOONS when they tell me all the sudden to not buy them they don't work.
Honestly, some of these folks need to be in mother ****ing jail for all these lies they are telling.
Our leaders for the most part look real dumb, and negligent often times.
and btw... it's not just our leaders it's pretty much the entire 1st World.

For those looking for masks for their family.....I have worked with this company in the past, they are great people and are selling these at cost, not N95 but they are washable, come in 2 sizes (adult, child) and can help your exposure level.......

What DIY mask stuff do people point to? Can anyone point me to a TAMU fabric I can use? I think somehow seeing a college logo mask will disarm people and if wearing around they will be more receptive to the idea themselves.
I am not, under any circumstances going to take any gear out of the hands of medical team members, DIY only for critical errands or STFH.

Good overview of how the virus travels and the effectiveness of masks.
