> "Meanwhile, I have a stack of 20 N95 respirators I bought for woodworking a year ago that I've been offering to friends and family. I've had no takers yet."

In absence of a sterilization method, they are going to last for only 20 days at most — since you can only use them once, for 8 hours max. I'd sell them for a premium actually to people thinking those 20 masks will save them.

Prevention methods need to be economically sustainable and practical. N95 masks are not only expensive and with an unreliable supply, but they are also pretty uncomfortable and most people don't wear them or dispose of them correctly.

The idea is to stay at home and only wear a mask when you have to go outside, say, for groceries.
