Middle-aged lady: Ask for 501 boxes on the market and wear a dust mask for peace of mind

Ms. Liu, who was waiting in line for the collar masks on the spot, said that there were only a dozen or so dust-proof masks in the house, and she frankly understood that there was no antibacterial effect, but the masks sold in the same area were too expensive. And even if the children in the family do not go out, she and her husband will use one each day when they go out, so they know that they only have the dustproof function, so they will wear it for peace of mind: "(This) is useless, it is a psychological function. People will be embarrassed when they see no masks. "

She said that when she was shopping in a street market, a friend told her there was a free mask pie, so she immediately rushed over to get it. She said that she did not look closely at the quality of the masks, but thought that the scene was well arranged and she did not need to wait too long to get the masks: "It will be here soon and you will get it in a few minutes."

Wu Bo in the 70s: He once "fired" and spent five hundred yuan to buy five masks for emergency

Wu Bobo, 78, pointed out that he noticed that the supply of epidemic prevention and daily necessities (such as bleach water, white rice and toilets) has been stable, but masks are still difficult to find. At present, there are only about 10 masks per capita in the home. He emphasized that every time I received a mask sale or distribution information, I would go as soon as possible, but tried and failed repeatedly: "Yesterday when I heard that the department store has a box of 60 yuan, I went to the car and went to sell it, and the fare was eroded. He said that he understands that he uses at least one mask every day, so when he was out of stock earlier, he had spent more than one hundred yuan to buy five masks for emergency, and was happy to receive six masks.

Liao Sheng: Masks are priceless and you may not buy them if you have money

Mr. Liao, now 70 years old and receiving a total of 24 masks, smiled with eyes bent: "Of course happy! Better than Liuhecai! Priceless Bora!"

Masks in the market are hard to find. Mr. Liao pointed out that the cheaper masks also cost more than 200 yuan a box, and may not be available in line. About two weeks ago, he queued up with his family for more than two hours. He was notified by volunteers today. Without having to wait in line, he can wear masks for three relatives and friends with his number and credentials, which made him very happy: "It's very hard to find a mask. There are only half a box left in the house and it takes six people. Now it costs more than 200 yuan for one. Boxes, you do n’t have to buy them if you have the money. I was too late to hear the news before going out to buy them. "

Mother-in-law Chen said that the current masks are still expensive, and there are not many masks in the home. They think that the quality of the masks is good, and they are satisfied with getting six masks for free.

As for the amount of money spent? Hou Zhiqiang said that he did not count the cost, but only noticed that the epidemic situation was serious, "there is a shortage of masks, and the government failed to meet the requirements." Therefore, regardless of the source, try to buy a reasonable or cost-price mask, hoping to send it to the public for emergency. Hou Zhiyan said that the masks distributed at the scene are mixed with different origins and brands, and the sources are from Vietnam, Malaysia, and Thailand. "The masks have not been professionally tested, so as to ensure that there are three layers." He said that he purchased a mask as a bag of mouth masks. There are more than two thousand with only two floors, which are not suitable for distribution.

The order at the scene was generally good. Distribution began at 10 am and ended at 11.30 am. Hou Rongguang, the general director of the Sheung Shui Rural Committee, explained that those who had registered their personal names and phone numbers earlier will be notified by the volunteers to receive masks again today. They do not need to wait in line today; and those who register on the spot today need only hold their ID cards, no matter where they live Hong Kong residents in the district can also receive: "The problem of insufficient masks not only occurs in Sheung Shui, but all Hong Kong faces the same problem."
