Anyone been able to buy masks online?

I stopped even looking, though my mom told me she found some KN95 ones that are reusable and would bring me one, not sure where she got them.

Good to have for going to groceries etc. The DIY cloth ones are better than nothing but they won't offer much protection to you or to others.
 
As has been discussed many times already anything short of a properly fitting n95 mask won't touch a virus and even they only improve your odds.

Even a bandana however will cut back on flying spit/mucus etc so better then nothing in cutting potential spread.

This is why everybody should wear a surgical mask or cloth face covering, sick or not. They catch droplets from the wearer which prevents transmission to others
 
What other types of masks would work? I'm talking about the type with replaceable cartridges like military gas masks or the types for automotive painting or foam spraying, etc. I'm kind of thinking they might be more readily available If they work as good as N95. I realize they would be pricier but I'd rather pay more for something with replaceable cartridges I can use for future needs plus who knows at this point how many fake disposable masks are in circulation.
