when I found these in my garage, I didn't know they were hospital grade.

I wasn't even sure if they would do any good if I used them, and if they were worth even putting on.

I think most people wearing them to places like Walmart, are stupid like me, and don't even realize they would be useful to hospital workers.

I have a couple of old ones I use for home repair projects. It’s not worth donating. But I wouldn’t feel bad about

Who mocks someone for doing what they can to protect themselves?

Healthcare workers who don't have access to enough PPE to care for patients.

4/8/20 9:02pm

So you blame the homeowner?

CallingDingo

4/8/20 9:06pm

No. I just answered your question. I'm not blaming anyone.

4/8/20 9:10pm

You do realize that “you” wasn’t referring to you personally?

CallingDingo

4/8/20 9:41pm

I didn't, but I see now what you meant.

4/8/20 9:55pm

I am a healthcare worker and might wear one to Walmart tomorrow.

So if a person has a used n95 they've probably been re-using from an old....
