A public service announcement -- a friend sent me an email with the info on this blog page. Pattern and instructions for home making your own masks, it looks likely that this will be a major issue very soon.
NY Times article I read mentioned that doctors in a Brooklyn, NY hospital were already being forced to re-use their disposable masks, due to lack of replacements.
Another NYT article quoted state procurement personnel saying that masks that usually sold for $0.85 each (85 cents USD) are not costing them about 7 dollars EACH. Profiteering is rearing its ugly head.
Consider making your own.
Here's the pdf file with the patterns for the mask -- three sizes, small, medium, large.
They are available on her website but need some digging around to find. Hope this helps. 😄

hi, how are you recently?
@Sphinx Hi, I am ok, reading a lot and trying to keep up with the ongoings of the pandemic and the economic downturn that possibly could be quite large.
But personally I am well, trying to stay home as much as possible, live in a smaller city, so that helps too. Hope all is well with you, Sphinx!
glad to hear, I found that sometimes I have a problem to fit in this community(mastodon). but I still try to connect to people.
and I stay at home at the most time too😀
@Sphinx We had a good social group going here in December, January, but some have drifted away for various reasons. Now it's less connected, there are some different user groups posting, some active in conversations with people in other mastodon servers, colleagues from Twitter now migrated here.
But it's nice to see our friends posting, and it makes one feel like posting more once again. 😉
@design_RG
yes. I agree with you!
