Are there a lot of cases in your county?
Not comparatively but San Bernardino is the largest county land wise in Kalifornia. Riverside county has done it too. I'm not sure about others. I'm suprised it isn't a statewide mandate yet.

Thanks JC ... you always come up with good posts for us ... vaping related or otherwise. Picked up a 50 pack for Janet and me. We can split them up with our kids/grandkids if they need some.

You're welcome. I'm happy to help when I can. Glad you got some for you & Janet, and for the big kids and the grands if needed. :)

Yes, the google-fu is strong in this one (@JCinFLA). Many started to treat her as a free personal shopper, but she's still here, helping us all!

That made me giggle. :)

Sometimes coming out of retirement, even for a bit, is a good thing... when there's something ya' can do to help. ;)

Thanks JC...I also bought two boxes earlier today. I’ve already given my parents enough masks so these are more for my stash. I’m eventually going to go back to work and I will need them with the virus still circulating.

They are out of stock now.

You're welcome, too. You've been seeing to so many of your parents' needs...I'm glad you were able to get some for you and your son before they sold out.

By the way, the ones IVS is selling don't come packed in boxes of 20 or 50, just plastic packaging. Just thought I'd mention it, so you all won't be surprised when you get them. It seems the Chinese copanies aren't real big on "boxes"...based on packaging for FT stuff and from many other overseas vendors. It does cut down on the total shipping weight/cost though somewhat, so I'm OK with it. :)

I have a doc appt. next week.

They called and said they will be doing a video checkup.

I told them I don't do video anything...we will do it over the phone.

They said, that's fine.

I call the shots. Sick of this...
Making all my appointments for end of May.

So what happens if your state/city/county require a mask out in public and you don't have any or you run out?

You have to to stay in your home and rot to death?
In my county they don't say what kind of mask you have to wear. A bandanna will work.

Oh no ... I didn't give a thought where these masks are coming from ... I hope they're safe to use considering they are coming from China where all this started.

I know people who've been wearing masks from China for 3 weeks or more when leaving their homes, and they've had no problems so far. I've been wearing some of mine for 2 weeks when going out to stores and the PO. The paper insert in the packs of 50, that I got yesterday, state they were made March 15, 2020...so they were just newly made after their factories started back up with production. Don't know if any of that is helpful to you or not though.

ETA: I've also thought about how long they were in transit before they got to me. The CDC and others have indicated the virus cannot survive for that length of time on product or packaging.

Their "about" page has their address listed in NJ.

    Somewhere between here and there
    I've had 1.2 zenith coils on backorder from FT since February. I finally gave up today when they move the expected ship date back again for about the tenth time. I went ahead and cancelled the order and found them elsewhere. I'm not mad but just got tired of waiting and watching. Besides with as slow as packages have been moving it could be another few weeks after they ship before I see them. I might have actually seen them before Xmas.

    N95 and surgical/medical masks can easily be disinfected by placing in oven (no contact with metal though) for 160 and 30 minutes. https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https://utrf.tennessee.edu/information-faqs-performance-protection-sterilization-of-masks-against-covid-19/?fbclid=IwAR17ywX0OvG5srmK45ijNk7nrUlphWjlww-tR0e5fdCfG-EhE0ZL4oFRfBU&h=AT1F20G0V-Bug7_Ak9VZ8SstEFM5tN25vuEsWTqNefwoIYsdRUL67ZnoofLcVf9jw54hs3ftxe6SyZy80IGwTqZr5njvwachlbo1QekdQCId3bNMFnFWS3rmAKgdhhwhQPo

    P.S. I think I'm going to do this for 3 uses at most. In addition, I'm making the shop towel masks. I'll probably use it for inserts in cotton for ease of use.
