       For people still wearing N95s and the like: The federal office that ensured masks met the N95 or KN95 standards has been destroyed. So any masks sold in the US could well be counterfeit or inadequate.https://www.ems1.com/public-health/hhs-cuts-eliminate-niosh-respirator-certification-staff

       My friend who edits this site, EMS1, said this when I asked him what paramedics (in the US) will do now: "I also suspect the supply chain was already overrun with counterfeit masks and the margins in EMS are so thin employers were buying cheapest possible, likely buying counterfeit." But he says paramedics generally don't mask up anyway.
