Why not get with the times and give the face masks away for free and just collect the data and sell the data? Targeted nyquil and chicken soup ads could be a valuable commodity.
You just gave me a good idea. Thanks!
I am gonna open a site for giving free mask through crowdsourcing in many needed places.
There was, IIRC, a campaign doing this a few bad wildfire seasons ago.
Good luck procuring them at any sort of scale right now. If you are in a position to do this (because you own a mask factory or you found 20 pallets of face masks in your garage or something) you probably didn’t wait for an HN comment telling you to do it :P
