Where can I get a mask to keep me safe? | Letter to the editor

Where are all our citizens getting face masks all of a sudden?

The CDC asks all citizens to wear them as of last week. I can’t find a single one any where to buy.

I live in a 55 and over condo and see many of my neighbors now wearing them. I see tons of people out at the food stores wearing them all of a sudden, but I can’t find a one for sale!

I have a cousin in New Jersey where it’s mandatory to wear them and she was going to send me some a neighbor was making for hospitals for free, but she stopped making them.

I asked another senior at Publix where she got hers and she said a neighbor made it.

How do I comply and feel safe at the same time when I can’t get a mask?
