    For me anyway, I'm not tossing out a N95 mask after wearing it out and about for a couple of hours. Though I didn't buy them myself, and they were a gift to me, I find it odd to toss them out after a single use.

    The security guard in my building complained to me that it must be expensive to toss my N95 mask after a single use. It didn't dawn on me that one would do that.

    For normal facial masks, if I go out for a couple of hours and not in a crowded place, I don't get the feeling that I need to toss them out. But maybe I'm wrong about that. I'm just surprised that people have told me how odd it is for me to reuse my mask.

    Some posts circulating online about how it’s a lift button presser to protect your finger from germs. I have doubts

    Safe lifting is everyone's responsibility

    Tried to do an online shop at PnS last night, but when I finally got through the wait screen (didn't take long as it was 3am HK time) , there were no delivery slots. Thought I'd have a look now and can't even get the wait screen, just an apache error page. Anyone been successful getting shopping delivered?

    Add to that - panic buying of sanitary pads. Not me though. After hearing about frenzy over toilet papers, I thought "wbt sanitary pads,eh?" Soon enough, I found out they were all gone.

    I believe God has many more surprises for me to SEE.

    I vaguely recalling overhearing a conversation during lunch between 2 late 20s ladies that one of them is now staying home more so thought she would try and buy a set of mahjong. Nope, they were sold out as well.

    Next thing would be paranoia that there will be power cuts, queue mass hysteria of buying canisters of gas and batteries.

    Happened to me also. I had a time slot a week away, stupidly decided to go back and add something, then slot was taken. Can't even do click and collect.

    Similar problems. No delivery slots are shown.

    We are stocked for the weekend.. Went to the local wet market and a large 759.

    Lets see what happens next week.

    Meanwhile here in the Philippines the price for a surgical mask is HKD 1.15. They authorities visited the stores because of reports of overpricing. Most were selling at HKD 0.9 to HKD 1.15. Stores selling at more were given show cause orders to explain why. If they fail to do so they can be closed down.

    Illegal street vendors were found to be selling at HKD 1.50 to HKD 3.00. Some had the masks consficated.
