COVID-19 & US healthcare system

[robkelk]

It's almost too late to buy masks already, ...

Too many people are buying masks that they don't need - which means the hospitals, who do need them, can't get them because of lack of stock.

If you're going to self-quarantine, then you don't need masks at all. You won't be getting close enough to somebody to spread any bugs anyway.

Spend the money on something useful, such as an extra gallon of water or a couple of cans of food you can eat without cooking it.
