    Ugh. Even disposable masks are reusable if they're not damaged. For us non-medical people out here we don't need them to be completely sterile, we need them to stop Covid. Just leave them out and let them air dry for 3 days and they're fine to use again. I keep several masks in my car, and since I only leave the house once a week, I just keep reusing them.

    Also, people who dispose of masks and gloves in the grocery store parking lot have a special level of hell reserved.
