It took him 4+ minutes (not counting cutting time) to finish and one good wet sneeze and it will definitely be "disposable." Bought 100 "dentist type" 3 layer paper masks off amazon for $25 (the blue ones you see everyone wearing) a few weeks ago. Took just over 2 weeks to arrive but worth the wait consider how many "2 minute paper towel masks" one would have to make. It is very surprising how many N95's you see people on the street wearing considering how hard it is for people who actually need them to get them.
This was perplexing to me as well. Are these the hoarders? I ask because so far I think I've seen maybe 6 or 7 people total, with masks that look like they'd definitely been re-used a few times. All the others with the N95s (or whatever passes for them, like the KN95s), looked pristine from 5-6 feet away.
