*** How about for all the people doing wood working or sanding paint, metal, auto body workers etc? I thought of that this morning. Not quite the same mask but people will still buy them for this virus. ***
My neighbors bought some of the 3 for 97 cent dustmasks. No shortage of them.
I had some P 95 from way back when I was painting. If you can find p or r 95’s, they are n95, too- just a bit different in oil, benzene, pesticide, oil protection. 3m has them under several brands TEKK, edge, graffix come to mind.

California:
Solano County health officials announced Friday two additional cases of the coronavirus. The two people are both residents of Solano County, and tested positive in Japan before being transported to Travis Air Force Base for quarantine.
One of the two people tested positive again after undergoing CDC testing. The other person’s CDC test is pending, county health officials said.
Health officials said both are under mandatory home isolation until they are cleared with the county.
Both the county and Travis Air Force Base declared a local emergency because of the influx of cases in the area.
“It is important to recognize that we have moved from containment to mitigation,” said Solano County Health Officer Dr. Bela Matyas in a press release. “We are investigating potential exposures and ensuring that proper evaluation and care are provided if they become sick.”
