Panic buying

.

Today I went on line to find filter refills for my trusty 3M face mask. I’ve been meaning to do this for a while, but not got around to it.  Today all suppliers were out of stock.

Is this panic buying?  Or have woodworkers and others everywhere suddenly realised their filters need changing?

I find this a really good mask. I get a good fit to the face, and as well as filtering out dust, I can use superglue and acrylic lacquer and not get a hint of fumes through it.

On the subject of panic buying, a large 4X4 was recently seen completely filled with toilet rolls.  Madness.  And selfishly anti-social.
