I 100% agree that the conversation should shift to how we can get more particulate masks into people's hands. That said, N95 masks are not the gold standard many people claim they are. N99 and P100 masks typically include a gasket which improves the seal dramatically. They also come with the bonus of filtering substantially more fine particles. Given than the size of the aerosols in question are less than 5 microns and that the ratings are in relation to 0.1 microns, getting a higher rating is probably a good idea. Even better still is a silicone mask which is trivial to leak test by covering the filter cartridge inlets (negative pressure) or exhaust valve (positive pressure).
