I am closing in on 1000 masks made, all donated. I think at 1000 I will take a break and go back to quilting. I don't know how many tens of thousands of masks our local group has made. We are working on huge orders for all the schools and now a local hospital needs hundreds more. I may be very cynical, but it seems to me there are a lot of commercially made masks available at low prices for large institutions to buy. But why should they if they can get people to make them for free? I didn't mind doing it in the beginning when masks were scarce and hard to find. And for places like shelters and food shelves that don't have a lot of spare cash. But the same hospital that is going to charge me $10 for an aspirin, wants me to donate masks? My state just got 300,000 of the white knit masks for the towns to pass out. That tells me they are out there, available and fairly cheap.
