10 FFP3 masks from Amazon UK delivered to U.S. cost $30.24 — just ordered them:

Thank you VERY MUCH for your comment; I had NO IDEA FFP3 masks are so much better than N95 — and I am a (retired) anesthesiologist who knows a thing or three about masks.

I wonder why FFP3 masks aren't made here in the U.S.

Because it's an EU standard. I guess N99 would be similar in the US?

Yes. And we have N100 as well which filter 99.97% of the hardest-to-block particles.
