Fun fact: US government paid a $5 million contract on a rock-paper-scissors app that just plays randomly, which you can write in 15 minutes.
It's called corruption.
Masks are like being taxed for being attacked by a foreign country who makes huge profits for the very same aggression. Neat trick.
N95 are different than the KN95 you can buy for $1
Not only that, N95 masks aren't effective enough to deal with something as small as COVID. You need FFP3.
