The time to prep is not DURING the panic.
You ordered mask a few days ago? Well, good for you! You beat the crowd They aren't available on Amazon now. TOO LATE FOR THE REST OF YOU.
Which may be good. Them masks are probably made in China anyway. Shoulda got your BEFORE the Umbrella Corporation in China had that containment breach of the Dos Equis Virus, or whatever it's called.
No, you need to get ahead of the panic. Ammo and canned good are still plentiful. Now. This week. Too late to get a gun, legally, in Maryland. By the time your paperwork goes through we'll be Beyond Thunderdome as the Kung Flu death rate continues to grow more than geometrically.
After the ammo is gone, terlet paper (or phone books), and coffee beans and/or peppercorns. No for you, you use thems as currency. Gold wedding bands. You can bribe checkpoint guards with those. Don't bribe with a gold coin. If you got one gold coin, that means you have more, and they will look for it. But who has two wedding bands?
"What about you, T-Bolt? Do you practice what you preach in the prepping predisposition?"
Do I? I am up to my eyebrows in peppercorns, already. My fingers look like Mr. T.

It's not like you don't need PPE in ordinary life. Do you ever paint anything? Then you should already have N95 masks and nitrile gloves -- and you should be using them. Find out that brand mask is uncomfortable as hell while painting, not while trying to find a part for your broken generator at the local big box in the middle of the epidemic.
Buy some pool shock. Figure out the ratios to mix it with water to make bleach. Figure out the ratios to use that bleach in as sanitizer and water treatment. Print that out and put it somewhere near but not right beside the pool shock. (Also don't put anything metal near the pool shock, or anything even remotely reactive.)
The masks provide no protection against inhaling viruses. They are made to protect surgical patients from contaminants exhaled through a surgeon's/staff member's mouth.
@ProudHillbilly You put one drop - at most, two - from a standard eye dropper onto the outer surface of the mask. Put prepared masks inside a freezer-safe compression seal-type plastic bag; 1) to allow time for the bleach to permeate the mask material, 2) to have another mask immediately available when the first one becomes over-used. Wash, rinse, repeat. The mask material stops the usual range of air-borne contaminants, and the bleach renders the viral/biological contaminants safe-for-human-consumption as well. Don't make this harder than it has to be, ya'know Vern?
And a couple of things:
The masks also are mostly to stop the sneeze/cough droplets, not the individual viruses. The droplets carry the virus.
and your prep list: add liquor and tobacco.
The masks provide no protection against inhaling viruses.
Surgical masks provide little protection against inhaling viruses. The good news is virtually no one inhales viruses. You inhale particulate mucus and saliva that contains virii.
In addition, we aren't telling you to buy surgical masks. Buy N95 or P100 respirator masks, which actually will protect against the 0.125 micron virii.
