there won't be any masks available to buy & someone has to be the first one infected in your town... If I was single with no children, I'd probably sit back and do nothing until it was closer, like you, but I have children & I'd rather have some masks on-hand *just in case* because I'd rather be safe than sorry. I agree it will probably not come to that, but I'd rather spend a couple of bucks and have masks on-hand just in case for my kids' sake...
