Even surgical masks were hard to come by in March. Hospitals near me were taking them as donations.
And people were already trying to buy up as much N-95 masks as they could. They were being gouged like crazy on Amazon and ebay and through wholesalers. The belief at the time was that paper masks do more to protect others from you than the other way around (although it's turning out paper masks reduce viral load and probably protect the wearer more than originally thought).
