One quick look and you might be mistaken with the face masks being sold in the street. They look like bikini especially with the psychedelic design of colors and the way they are hung from the hanger. Due to the prevailing atmosphere of the corona virus, we need to wear the face mask for our own protection in order to avoid getting contaminated in case there are virus carriers in the public places that we go to. And since it is imperative to wear a face mask so there are vendors to offer you such face masks in the picture.
As they say, there will always be a supply once a demand arises. However, the supply in the case of the face mask is exorbitant. From the standard price of 2 pesos in the pharmacy, those face masks in the street are selling for 50 pesos each, that is equivalent to 1 US dollar.

I think you live in Jamaica… right now they are showing off with these kinds of masks. People are making and selling them. We have a set who have these expensive supersurgical masks with filters, as if they are going into space… but masks like those you display sell like hot bread.
