I’m living in Europe but a year after the spread of Covid-19 this Atlantic article¹ is still relevant. I live in a city so I can buy from local, brick-and-mortar retail almost exclusively and I prefer to support specialist stores over general, e.g., buy vegetables from the local fruit-and-veg shop rather than the supermarket. However, I’ve been very frustrated by the fact that pharmacies I’ve gone to don’t have any better a selection of masks than other shops. I’ve also yet to come across any masks that have some sort of quality mark or certified to some standard. I find it crazy that the majority of masks for sale to the public are “fashion masks” which offer no guarantees of effectiveness. 1. https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2021/01/why-arent-we-wearing-better-masks/617656/ https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2021/01/why-arent...
