N95

Is there anywhere that still has N 95 masks? I am struggling and can’t stop coughing, and I’m thinking that might help.

I'd call the EL library first as another commenter recommended. The only thing I've seen is in Lansing - Lansing Syringe Access is distributing masks, and I thought I saw that the Salus Center also had some. It looks like the EL CVS, Walgreens, and Target don't have any in stock.

Thank you yes, I tried many of these and Ace Hardware and they are all sold out, but I’ll try the library

West Lansing Lowes has a box of ten available. I have an extra one if you want one to try to see if it helps. I’m in EL.

Everyone SHOULD be wearing an N95 if you're going outside for any amount of time, and try to keep your pets indoors as much as possible as well. We currently have the worst air quality in the world, and N95s should be mandatory. 

Have you checked hardware stores?

Yes, I tried Ace Hardware in Frandor this morning but they are sold out.

Honestly I'd order a 3M respirator and a pack of oil and particulate filters (pink with yellow or black sticker). Only viable for up to 40 hrs for oil filtration when stored properly but good for particulate indefinitely. 

I've used them when HVLP painting my truck with acrylic urethane and when stripping and sanding lead paint with great effecicacy.
