RE: Face Masks Worth More Than Gold. I’m Still in China

in #corona-virus4 years ago

If shipping weren't so expensive I'd mail you some masks. Easy to find here. In December here in the US in Tennessee the flu was horrible but in our culture jobs and schools refuse to close so people have to go out in public. People feel embarrassed or unfashionable to wear masks which I wish weren't the case. They gave out the wrong strain of flu vaccine locally so another strain of flu spread rapidly and rates were worse than in a long time. Hospital wait time was 10 hours. It's just now dying down a month later. I hope things clear up there soon for you. At least you have furry company to cuddle with.

I didn't know that about Tennessee, wow. Wearing masks are actually kind normal during good times. I always saw some people wearing them. They did stick out a bit. Now it's the opposite, masks are mandatory when outside and not wearing one will get you no entrance into shops and places.

Thank You So Much for the offer of masks. I was lucky and bought the last two N95 masks in the shop near my home. I can use them repeatedly. Hopefully by the time I need new ones they will be back in stock or the gov issued ones arrive.

Glad you found some masks. I think here you can get 50 disposable ones for $4 and 20 packs of N95 ones for $11. The only people I see buying them are construction type workers or doctors offices. I'd say you'll get them in stock before overseas ones would arrive.
