First question I would ask: Hi Mr. President, my family is trying to buy some respirators and I cannot find any online or in stores. What is being done to make these available to citizens.
Sorry,too late the US supply is gone. China is was the major mfg of N95 masks and still is and will not release any to any other nation,cant get blood from a rock, next question
Out of curiosity, I looked and saw them for $5 each at a local Walmart a couple of weeks ago. Supply and demand. I don’t care and don’t need them. They’re a bother for working people to use properly and work best to protect others from the person wearing the mask. Problem is, many who will be infected won’t wear them. Many others won’t know they’re infected at first. It’s better just clean surfaces often, don’t touch the face, wash hands, etc. It’s best, really, to stock up now and avoid joining the infected hordes in stores later on.
Try your local ACE hardware store. This afternoon, I found boxes of 10, 3M brand, part number 8200.
