Besides, buying these sorts of masks new should be left to healthcare workers or (“essential” workers) and those that most need them. The rest of us should wear cloth masks.
Healthcare workers workers use disposeable masks. Reuseable one’s like the above are a good solution for people who can use masks that are not certified for healthcare use.
