KN95 masks are comparable to n95 masks in their filtration efficiency and you can order them from online stores like Amazon.

The continued scarcity of n95 masks in the US has to do with an incompetent/malicious federal government’s failure/refusal to incentivize massive local production of masks, and a constant increase in demand by hospitals because of the rising number of cases.

The KN95 specification is comparable to the N95 specification. But KN95 masks as a class of real things are often not comparable to N95 masks.

With Amazon's reputation I would be extremely hesitant to order anything health related from them. I'd greatly prefer a store with clear supply lines and no comingling.
