More on a serious note too.... Have a friend that moved to Melbourne early this year. Was working as manager of a shop in a large shopping center. Just put up a post that her shopping center has been put into lock down... Lots of friends put up posting about them needing to move back to Queensland.. I posted to do it quick before we blow up all the bridges and burn the place, (with a lot of smileys attached)..... My post was removed and I'm banned for four weeks... Even Facebook is easily offended...  ??? ??? ???

N95 means they are P2 Masks. 

$14.95 for 2 @ Bunnings.

Weather they actually meet P2 standards is another thing..

Oooh! That was a brave move, you will probably get an after hours visit from Xi-Jinping's henchmen demanding an apology for daring to question their integrity.

These masks wouldn't do much good if worn by an infected person as the valves release exhaled air into the open.

I can not see a valve from the Priceline link, so you would think they are not the same quality.

In all seriousness, please please please, take all precautions, regardless of where you live. It is the only way we can slow this thing down.
Take care and be safe folks.

Before slipping on a face mask, you should wash your glasses or sunglasses lenses with soapy water and shake off the excess moisture. Then, let your glasses air dry or gently dry the lenses with a clean microfiber cloth.

Using this method, the lenses shouldn’t fog up once you put on the mask and glasses, the study says. Why? Cleaning the lenses with soapy water leaves a thin film that reduces the “inherent surface tension” and prods the water molecules to form a transparent layer.
