Molly B. Posted April 4, 2020 at 04:06 AM Share Posted April 4, 2020 at 04:06 AM As everyone knows, it is difficult to find/acquire N95 masks right now but I am trying locate some for our dear friend Rhonda Ezell. Our friend has a compromised immune system and I would like to help protect her and find some masks, if possible. I have masks that would work for myself but they are not the more efficient ones like the N95. Maybe you were wise enough to purchase some before the shortage?

Craigcelia Posted April 4, 2020 at 11:20 AM Share Posted April 4, 2020 at 11:20 AM Don't have a spare N95 but could send her two surgical masks. N95's are supposed to be fit tested anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found a web site late last night selling in stock surgical masks, 3M N95 ($300 for 20) and KN95 (read recently ok'ed) to the public. Supposedly from FDA approved factory in China. Went back this AM and the site is gone.

Molly B. Posted April 5, 2020 at 01:39 AM Author Share Posted April 5, 2020 at 01:39 AM With Rhonda's situation, I believe that need to be medical grade like surgical? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InterestedBystander Posted April 5, 2020 at 01:48 AM Share Posted April 5, 2020 at 01:48 AM With Rhonda's situation, I believe that need to be medical grade like surgical?Understood. I think those surgical do have better filtering of smaller particulates which makes the homemade ones not great for immunocompromised. Just throwing it out there as a last resort or others looking for something not home made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRJ Posted April 14, 2020 at 08:20 PM Share Posted April 14, 2020 at 08:20 PM A mother of a member on my new local forum is making washable masks with a double layer of Pellon 911 medical grade filter material. She started out doing this for the local nurses and civil workers, and it expanded out from there.I bought some of these for myself and my wife. They are EXCELLENT quality. I'n not related to this person in any way, but given the stated need I wanted to share the resource. I asked him if I could post this information to my Chicago friends and specifically called out Rhonda. He will be happy to assist. Hello all,The staff here has asked me to offer the reusable mask that my mother has been making for some local workers.Disclaimer(Please note these mask do not offer total protection against the corona virus. We cannot be held liable or responsible in any way for infections or deaths.)In an effort to aid local workers with the shortage of mask my mother has started making some at the request of a friend in the medical field.These mask come with a medical grade filter sewn inside them and are washable and reusable. We will try to ship within 24-48 hours after receiving the order.Please email yotehunter2006@yahoo.com to place an order with color, size,and address.Accept PayPal Friends and Family paid to the same email address used to order.Price. 10.00 each + shipping 7.65Sizes are S M LSolid colorsBlackRedBlue If you have trouble reaching him pm me here and I'll try to help get you connected.here's the original posting from my other forum https://www.carolinafirearmsforum.com/index.php?threads/reusable-washable-mask.59772/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InterestedBystander Posted April 14, 2020 at 08:49 PM Share Posted April 14, 2020 at 08:49 PM Hopefully masks will eventually make it back to the retail market, but when, where and at what price? If you know someone with a 3D printer, files are available at https://emergency3d.com/ Modified from an initial design by medical professionals in MT which were filter specific, it has a pliable base if printed using TPU 95A for better face fitting and 2 different hard retaining clips using ABS for securing different thickness size filter material. You are responsible for providing your own filter material and ear bands. I understand HEPA filter material rated MPR 2800 or MERV 14+ is best. Filter pricing I've seen from $50-$100 sold in multi packs. Masks can be disinfected in boiling water. "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35QjGBDAL2M" Discovered this when looking for a face mask being a high risk in multiple categories. With some reports indicating general cloth masks effective 3-10% as opposed to surgical masks 40-60% and KN/N95 at 95%, I was searching for something with an active filter pocket and quality ones, like medical masks, seem sold out.

Bubbacs Posted April 14, 2020 at 09:16 PM Share Posted April 14, 2020 at 09:16 PM Where are the Celebrities and Pro Athletics getting the 50k and 100k masks to donate?And I get the need for the first responders to have equipment.But being in that group that’s needs them also, I’m just wondering why they are all locked up and where these folks are getting them from? I would like 4 two for me a two for the wifeAlso why can’t they limit the sale like they did TP to 2 masks per person per visit?All the last night T.V. People have them, why? They need them to do a show at home to continue the income and advertising? Yes I’m a little upset. Maybe I need to find these sources for them like the rich people and make a donation AND keep a pile for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InterestedBystander Posted April 17, 2020 at 08:54 AM Share Posted April 17, 2020 at 08:54 AM https://www.snowjoe.com/products/kn95-protective-face-mask-ce-certified-gb2626-standard-5-pack SnowJoe/SunJoe, supplier of winter (I love their snow broom) and summer equipment, has KN95 in stock. $16.99 5 pack, max order of 5. Not medically rated. Unsure if this one was listed in the FDA approved list...browser would not load file but perhaps not if not medically rated. I know there are reports of shoddy product and counterfits coming in but this seems reasonable for the price and perhaps they (SJ) have contacts given all of the other product they import...or maybe its just a fake. But for grocery runs and such it seems like it could be better than a bandana or cut up TShirt over the face if you are senior and/or immuno compromised.
