News: January 14, 2022. The Price of N95 and KN95 Masks Has Increased Significantly

According to this article, the price of N95 and KN95 masks has increased significantly. It gives the following examples:

• A 40-pack of KN95 masks is now about $79.99, up from $16.99 in November 2021.
• A 50-pack of Kimberly-Clark N95 masks is now $57 compared to $23 in October 2021.

The reason for these increases in the rumor that the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is going to recommend these masks for the general population use.

In my opinion, regardless of the masks they recommend, a virus (omicron) with an R0 between 8 and 15 refwill not be contained by masking.
