Haven't been out shopping for 2 months - gonna finally venture out Tuesday, just got masks a few days ago. Us North Americans were really slow catching on - heck, my brother sent me a pic from Vietnam of him Feb 3rd, and he, as well as everyone else were wearing masks. We should pay close attention to how the East Asians have kept their death toll so low . . . . hell - we should have paid attention way back in February!

By the time we caught on - shortages were everywhere. I could find them in the USA, but USA would not ship them to Canada. It took 4 weeks for the ones I ordered from Walmart to arrive - from CHINA

Yeah - heard the stories about unsuitable/defective ones from China, but hey - it's all I could find. I'll be carrying spares for anyone that wants to get near me, or I them - bagged all 50 of them separately just for that purpose.

I'm 69, and 50 years of drinking and smoking has left me with a not too healthy body.

I'm paying close attention to this virus thingy . . . .

It should not be taken lightly.
