Check Ebay, craigslist, offerup, etc.

 

[Inifinty]

Is there a used market for these things?

If theres a used market for women's unwashed underwear, then the answer is.... probably.

I bought a 10 pack of 3m ones over the summer to wear while working in my attic, they were $10 shipped
Right now they are probably triple that
or worse from craigslist

I just saw a guy this morning at LAX with a full on respirator. Fucking hilarious ? Similar to this

Theyre worthless. These things cannot block a virus in nor out. They were not made for that! They filter out much larger particles.

Well viral particles, even when aerosolized, do not exist in isolation, but rather in larger droplets. However, no mask is completely effective and no mask will be as helpful as avoiding contact with people.

I got a few boxes. ill trade you for some Varget or Rotumbo

Those things do nothing. Honesty you need a full face mask with p100 filters if you hope to stop anything.

An N95 mask isn’t going to do shit against a viral pathogen. N95’s only filter particles down to 300nm. Most viruses are 125 or less.

That's "technically" correct, but doesn't tell the whole story. Viruses are indeed around 100-125nm in diameter, BUT they primarily exist in the air floating in aerosolized droplets, which are larger than 300nm. Additionally, if you're wearing the mask properly, it also prevents you from touching your face/mouth/nose, which is a significant benefit.

Only if it adheres to something larger. If someone sneezes in your personal space then there is still a good chance you Are going to breathe it in. But hey I’m not a virologist so...

Wearing the mask properly is key...and something most don’t know how to do. It’s the same thing when you see people wearing gloves and you know they don’t know how to take them off properly lol.

If you’re sick or think you’re sick, and you decide to ooze around town, then the mask would be more beneficial. But none of that matters because we all have it and the Boomers have been chosen to take point.

If someone sneezes nearby, transmission is by droplets which will still be stopped by the mask. However, in that situation, the mucas membranes of your eyes are what you have to worry about. However, an N95 mask is only rated for eight hours use...

Im still standing by the N95 ain’t going to do any good.

Any is a awful big space to encompass. Just keeping you from touching your mouth has to be worth something.


No craigslist takers at $20 lol. Not gonna deal with those cretins for less $$$

 

[EM92wx]

I can provide used masks at minimal expense.

 

[kenny1773]

sell the used masks as eco friendly recycled toilet paper alternative
