Celebrity on Air has 4 masks for $11.99 and free shipping.  They normally make Carol Wior swim suits but are also making masks.

We have dust cover masks from Harbor Freght that were available in February.  They specificially say not designed for viruses and they are on the thin side, thin enough to wear two one on top of the other or one under a bandana. 

Because they are the molded design with the metal nose adjuster on the top people have incorrectly assumed they were medical grade and made a point to scold us.  We also have a few N95 masks from the anthrax scare many years ago that we had purchased back then from Amazon in a box of 20.  They have been kept clean and pristine but definitely are medical grade and too many rude people with a big mouth so we don't wear them.  We only have 3 left because over the years (since 2001) we used them.  

If we lived in an area that was heavily infected we would wear them. Fortunately, we don't and only go out for grocery shopping and even then once every 3 weeks.

I made one using a bandana with a coffee filter tucked inside and ponytail elastics.  Used it to run to the dairy for milk.  Worked just fine, except my glasses fogged up a bit.  I'll have to play with it a bit next time.  I did order some masks from Amazon, but they are literally on a slow boat from China so who knows if/when they'll arrive.  Lots of places online have instructions on how to make your own.

Good luck with Etsy. I bought from two sellers last week and they still have not shipped. I've been reading seller's reviews and a lot of people are saying masks they buy have not shipped. I'd be tempted to make your own, heck of lot quicker.

I have personally ordered from Etsy and the vendor is themagicspool.  

She is located in CA and she ships very quickly.  The masks that she shows on her page are available for shipment immediately. 

I have ordered things from her for the last year or so, including masks. Again, the masks on Etsy are not medical masks.  And I have no affiliation with this Etsy vendor. Just a shopper who has bought from her before.
