N95 masks are available on eBay from sellers with good reputations for around 2x normal prices.

A gov run healthcare facility certainly isn't going to order masks from "ebay". I agree that they should though if their normal supply chain isn't able to deliver and there are no other ways.

The comment I replied to said that they couldn't buy a mask as a member of the general public.
