Why?

So I can reuse the mask. I have a bunch of dust masks but only 3 N95 a customer gave us.

Kirkland is the best TP. Bought a pack of Scotties when that's all Costco had and it's not as wide as the Kirkland brand.

How big is your asshole? :lol

For real though, I will repeat, surgical mask + goggles/face shield + distancing is all you need in public.

CDC say they are aggressively reviewing their recommendations of wearing masks

Like I said before and will continue until this changes, they will HAVE to start telling people to wear masks, and it's possible that it will be mandated to wear one to be out in public, once the stay-at-home measures are lifted.

If they don't, this will last twice as long as it needs to.

The problem with making it mandatory is lots of people don't have them and can't get them. people who can need to do more than the bare minimum the government is telling people to do.


I just got a call from someone selling a Las Vegas vacation package.

Hand Sanitizer at the Dollar Store across from New West Skytrain Station and at Canadian Tire (the Bentall location - Grandview Hwy). Made in Canada. $7.99 for 8 oz bottle with pump. Last week, so not sure if they still have stock.

I am all for masks if that means the stay-at-home order gets lifted at some point.

That said, supplies will definitely be an issue. Many mask factories have popped up in China, and I don't really trust the quality since there is little to no regulation(see video above)... I think Canada and the US will have to make them on their own if they want to ensure the quality.

Even at work we can’t get masks. We have half mask respirators with P100 filters but it’s not really a day to day thing imo.

I’ve gone out fairly frequently to stores and even Lowe’s today and have not seen masks for sale for some time. I guess if it came to it I’d wear the half mask respirator but that would be a last resort.

A lot of new factories have popped up in China, from pharmaceutical companies, down to sticker printing shops turned mask manufacturers, so quality has varied

From what I understand though the national distributors have stock, companies shouldn't have a hard time ordering from their suppliers, they're just being stingy with the public due to hoarders

There's an abundance of masks being made. Taiwan says they can make 10m a day. Multiply that by like 50 and you'll have an idea of how much China can make if they want.

THere are plenty of them. A program to get them into peoples' hands is called for, but they have to wait for the CDC or some other body to "approve" of the science.

Usually that takes a long time, but during a pandemic I can see them doing this ASAP.

Stay-at-home orders should not end until the majority of the population have masks in their possession, and wear them when they go out. Even a provision allowing homemade masks would be fine. Everyone has a t-shirt they can tie around their face, and that is still effective as research shows.

this is why i think SN gym ain't going to bounce back asap.

To take over everything, real estate, hire all over again, even at 50 cents to the dollar is still a significant investment. That's assuming you think entire Canada will jump back into the gym once "lock down" is cleared.

It's tough to take over a business right now.....


Mask does help (no need to beat on a dead horse) but if they say it will help...it's going to create a huge panic. As we all know hydroxychloroquine is being tested and right now but it's not fully being publicized; can you imagine the amount of people from china will be making this pill and so so many fake scams are going to be produced.

You can order prescriptions (new and refills) to be mailed to you at https://www.costcopharmacy.ca/ now. If you need it immediately it's not as helpful as they say 2-5 days to ship (I'd say give it 7-10 to be safe) but for less urgent stuff it'll help you not need to go out.

Yes, I can and I know about the options available to me.

Of all the places I've been to, recently, Costco is by far, the most organized places to shop as far as employee and customer safety is concerned. They still rely on members minding the rules and I've seen some stupid behaviours on the members' part, but they're on it quickly. Not sure if all Costco's are like this, but the Willingdon location is doing a good job.

I go to the Save On at Park and Tilford after work on Mondays. These past few weeks, it's been business as usual? Few weeks ago, they were low on meat but this past monday they were restocked. Never had a problem finding what I needed and there's been no crowds?

I bought surgery masks today at CT on Cambie $50 for 50 pieces

Just to let you guys know, if I didn't have my P-100 and N95 masks, gloves, disinfectant wipes, and hand sanitizer, I wouldn't be going out at all.

Too late.
Already reported you :fuckyea:

Oh oh.............. when I was a teenager, I used to sneak out of the house late at night. Take father's car. The possibility of getting caught was like a rush.

You have any idea what they do with old guys like you in the slammer?

Social-distancing guidelines to stay 6 feet from others may be woefully inadequate, one scientist warns — saying the coronavirus can travel 27 feet and linger for hours.
