> Whats even more nuts is that N95's have taken this level of importance in healthcare at all instead of reusable P100 masks.

The obvious drawback to using reusable respirators to manage a pandemic disease is that they're another item to become contaminated and spread infection.

Sure, but disinfecting a mask like that is a known protocol. I mean I'd rather wipe down a mask daily than worry about baking my disposable N95 in an oven because there aren't enough. P100's are also more effective at filtering 100% vs 95% filtration.
