I'm not sure how they plan on keeping track on who gets the masks. How many masks can each person get? Not much info yet.
White House says it will distribute 400 million free N95 masks to protect against omicron
According to this NBC article, a maximum of three masks per person.
I can imagine the stampede. All the dedicated mask-wearers will rush in but all the non-maskers will steer clear.
I hope each pharmacy and community center crafts some intelligent system of distribution. No one wants to be in a pushing, shoving crowd, especially during Covid. I would wait a day or two if I didn't worry about supplies running out. I still have an unused N95 from the start of Covid, but it's the kind with the valve which we aren't supposed to use anymore.
