Went to 4 different pharmacies, 2 of them enormous. Couldn't find any masks/respirators on the shelves. In each case I asked a store helper person. Only in the 4th one I went to did they have anything, and in that case there was only one type of product available - a disposable N95 respirator by 3M. They cost $5 each.

How are you finding masks and affording to stay masked all the time? It seems really expensive...

Aside from buying the disposable masks in bulk, you could probably save a lot of money with a reusable respirator. Then you only need to worry about replacing the filters. My partner picked up a 3M 7502 recently and loves it. I've been looking at getting the Envo Pro as well. It's definitely not as effective as the 7502, but if you're like me and can't get away with something like the 7502 at work, it may be worth looking at.

Honestly I wish I had the confidence to go 7502. Really, my workmates would snicker behind my back (more than they already are), but I'd live. I spotted a dude on the airplane with a 7502 and I gave him massive props.
