Because there is NO WAY you can get the masks!!!! Just like hand sanitizer, etc.!
PHOOEY!!!!
I saw people in the grocery today wearing plastic bags on their hands and scarfs over their faces for the first time. Others wore turtle neck sweaters and just pulled the neck area up over their mouth and noses. Another gal wore her winter gloves.
The idea is to protect yourself with what you’ve got....or stay home...which is your best bet.
