Ever since the news reported, free N 95 mask's distribution at store pharmacies, I've been hunting for them. No luck yet...all gone more tomorrow...all gone from last week... distributed early morning and runs out...:(...:( Did you get your free N95 masks?

No. I won't be getting any. Mandates are set to expire here and I welcome a return to normal.

I did, quite by accident. I walked into a Walmart in Florida to go to the Subway in there, and the greeter handed me three N95 masks. I haven’t opened them yet, but I have them.

We haven't been given free masks but we have several tests each now. Would your regular pharmacy save some for you?

Unfortunately, no. It's all first come first served. Oh well, I'll have to buy it then.

We are still able to get KN95 masks in stores or online. However, we're running out of self-test kits.

Ok. I've been hunting for the free ones, news says pharmacy stores handing out. At Walmart, self test kits sells out all the time. Longs has a different brand, but same 15 minutes notification. Guess I got to buy my n95 masks.

@oahuwriter If you can't find self test kits at WalMart or wherever, I have noticed that some grocery stores carry them. And a friend found some at a Costco.

I saw plenty of them on Amazon, the price wasn't bad either but that was in 2020.

No, and I never will. I've never worn a mask and never will. Personal choice. But, just like at home test kits, you know they're gone faster than they come in stock.

They were hard to get even when people were paying for them. We have like 3 left. The one good thing about our roof caving in is we bought them so we could fix the roof, came in handy for pandemic too.

My son ordered N 95 masks several times last year so we were already using them. I did pick up the freebie ones at Walgreen's when I got meds last time. They didn't say anything about running out of them, but I have had friends say they had to go back again. I must have just hit it at the right time of day or something.

Early on, I got masks from my insurance company. I found when I looked at them, they were N95 so I don't need to go out and get new ones.
