For all of you who are concerned about the spread of swine flu, I was able to find face (dust) masks at Home Depot. Drug Fair, Shop Rite& CVS were all sold out. Then it dawned on me to call a hardware store, since these masks are often used when wood working, and sure enough, right there in aisle 7 of my HD, in the paint section, were all types of masks.
I bought some basic ones, and then a couple that allow for venting, which keeps one cooler, they say. While I don’t tend to panic in these circumstances, I am a planner. So, IF I would need one of these, and any one of my friends or family need masks too, I have a supply. Presuming we all escape this viral strain, I’ll use them while sanding my next project, or simply return them.
I would advise calling any store you are intending to purchase masks from, as many are sold out, and you surely don’t want to be wasting your two most valuable assets–time and health on dry runs. So, do your homework, and be prepared yet continue to live your lives.
Good luck and great health to all of you!
Ms. Morrison
