Maybe ease off the N-95s till we can get them to hospitals (or buy them and drop off the unopened boxes to whichever nearby hospital you find that says they are accepting them). But other masks? No, you really should buy them. Or make them if you must.

25-50% of Covid cases have no symptoms. But they can still spread it. The mask is for protecting other people, in case YOU are one of those. It also protects you by some margin too, though this depends on how good you are at actually avoiding touching your face or doing other habitual things (it won't do the wearer much good for a typical person due to such things). But it will protect others. And if others do it, then they will protect you.
