Price gouging N95/Kn95 masks.

Last month I bought 40 Kn95 masks for $19.95. This morning, that very same item (on guess where) is $69.95.

We are really awful, mankind.

They're sold directly by 3M on their Amazon storefront so they're not as subject to the vagaries of the reseller market. I keep 8 boxes on hand, when I use one up I buy another one so I'll have a good supply if things do get really grim again.
