CORONA Mask shortage- REMODELER EPIDEMIC

[Account Closed]

The masks probably aren’t helping people much against the Corona Virus, but right now, in middle America, there are investors buying up all the dust masks from all the paint stores etc. There’s likely going to be an EPIDEMIC harm to remodelers handling harmful materials, such as cutting hardibacker etc without protection. I deal with old plaster demo and asbestos etc, and today I ran out of masks. I can’t find any and the specialty stores are saying someone came in and bought the 20pack boxes to resell (probably online to China or selfish hoarders). This is getting apocalyptic for me. I should have been a better prepper.
