are you sure? reporting say 3M can only ramp up another 35MM per month. Im not sure what the baseline production /month is - but estimates for how many masks needed just for healthcare workers are 300MM. And I would guess takes a month or two ramp up production, machines are probably already running 24/7 need to build more.
So it seems from reporting that n95 masks are NOT being made in sufficient quantity for healthcare workers - let alone everyone.
