[davidc4430]

anyone ordered and recieved masks from ebay or anywhere else?

i'm thinking i should get a few 'just in case'

not 100, or 50, maybe 5 or 10

There are many indications now that masks reduce the possibility of getting infected:

I looked at the link to the pen. I also noticed, "Production of The Pen is carried out, in the main, by a small group of dedicated individuals, who do it on a voluntary basis". Perhaps it might be more sensible to listen to advice from reputable medical experts?

I posted those too.  The simple fact is that every one of those countries who managed to control the spread have mandated wearing of masks>

All the average person really needs to do is cover yth mouth and nose.

You could use a bandanna, or your t-shirt, or a scarf.

I find the masks I got from the $2 shop recently quite adequate.

They don't need to be surgical quality.
