    Sadly, clearly not. But hopefully that's were 100% of production is going now and they'll catch up with emergency demand soon.

    I have one in my shop. It's a little funky from multiple uses and not suitable for use by others.
    Sharp solves all manner of problems.

    These masks seem pretty durable, so I wash them out in hot water and soap. Otherwise seems they give me a cold after once using them. So if I use one, wash it out that evening, prop it on the towel rod, and it is dry in the morning.

    Which these? I'd be interested if non-medical use washable masks were available. Thanks.

    Search for Dust Bee Gone. I really like mine and have had it for a long time. Bought it at Woodcraft. Woodcraft also sells something they list as Anti Microbial Dust Mask Adult, but I have not tried or used one of those.

    If you are willing to pay about $10 each or more, check out Amazon or Ebay (Buy it now). There are some from US stocks. Some are selling 1, 10 or as many as 500 (for about $4K). Many are touting quick delivery.

    So, there is some availability if you really need it.

    But...buyer beware.

    Must be. CDC is likely to recommend surgical masks soon anyway.

    Do they do any maintenance on the masks/filters?

    I'd think the p100 dust masks would be a good choice to help filter inhalations, but thought the exhalation valves would be a problem at hospitals.
    The pink 3M filters sure look good at a grocery store, though.

    Duke Health (Yes Duke does something other than play basketball) developed a way to sterilize used masks. Mist them for four hours with hydrogen peroxide, same as they do infected rooms to cleanse them.
