The USPS had a plan in place to do just that. The Trump White House stopped it: https://www.forbes.com/sites/brucelee/2020/09/18/usps-covid-...
Could argue the Trump administration is directly responsible for killing tens of thousands of Americans through that act alone.

Well then why isn’t the Biden admin doing it?

You mean why didn't they go back in time and do it when it could have made a difference? Masks are ubiquitous now, and have been entirely politicized by the GOP. The abject refusal to assign blame to the most malicious administration in this country's history says a lot about many in this community.

N95's for daily long-term use just isn't feasible. I've had a bunch of them from long before COVID19 for working with some auto detailing chemicals and I can't wear one for more than 10 minutes. Breathing becomes extremely difficult, maybe it would get better with time but it gets to a point where I constantly feel like I'm about to pass out.

Isn't it amazing that medical professionals can work 12 hour shifts in N95s without having difficulty breathing and don't feel like they're going to pass out?

There are new ones made with nanofiber instead of the typical ones made of meltblown fiber. The nanofiber ones are more breathable, check out AirQueens, rated kn95.

i've been wearing n95 masks for almost two years now and i had no issues with them. i can even workout with an n100 without any problems.
If something is 10 times less effective, it’s basically not even effective in comparison to what’s possible.
