I question my own handling of the situation though, I ordered some surgical masks from Amazon...just in case....well, come to find out, they are shipping from China 20 days out.
Shipping for sooner delivery cost $$$ so I didn’t.
I’ll probably be afraid to even open the box if I were to succumb to the panic that the Left wants.
I probably just wasted $50
I ordered them for if we were to end up like Wuhan.
Oh; wait.
That was CHOICE
Sorry; go on about your business
You may get use out of them if you are inhome on 14 day isolation with a sick family member. Or vice versa.
Wearing a mask reminds you to not touch your face when you are surrounded by fomites. In some afflicted areas private shopkeepers are requiring customers to wear masks to enter and shop. Hopefully we never come to that.
You should be fine. Mine were made in China last July. Most viruses have a short lifespan on surfaces, like a couple of days or less. By the time you need them, if you do, anything on them should be dead.
