Guys, if the media is wrong, and it's all alarmism, and we're actually doing very very well in controlling this virus, and the positives are all the result of increased testing, because we have the greatest testing in the world, how come the European Union has put a travel ban on us?

If wearing a mask is so important, how come my government, state, or city hasn't mailed 4 masks for my family funded of course by my tax dollar?

So, it turns out that if you, as a voter, only ever demand lower and lower taxes, your local government will tend to lack the funds to hire competent people and get supplies quickly.

Probably because you don't need for the government to send you one.  Unless you are mentally handicapped, it's very easy to make your own, or just go to the store and buy a box of them.

So, just so I am clear. Assuming I am not physically or mentally handicap

1. Make myself a mask out of cloth which has proven to be pretty ineffective
2. Put on said homemade mask
3. Go to store
4. Purchase masks that are slightly less ineffective than homemade cloth mask.

Will do.

You're basing your argument on European Courage?

You're argument would be sound if it weren't for the fact that our government spent 4.45 Trillion dollars last year and sucks at pretty much everything they are supposed to do. But you know that already, you just love throwing good money after bad.

There is a fifth option.  Go buy an N95 mask, wear it and stop being a bellend.

N95s must be fit tested for them to protect the wearer, you don't just pick one up of the shelf and put it on. They also do not filter the exhale, they are only designed to filter inhales so they don't protect other people from the wearer. In short, they aren't useful because they aren't being used correctly and they can actually make the situation worse because the give a false sense of security. They also turn otherwise normal people into condescending self righteous douchenozzles.
