Most places are not mandating N95-equivalent masks. Certainly they are not in Seattle, where I live.

Rumors are that CDC might start recommending them. Which means states will follow suit. Anything to make it seem like they're doing something.

It could certainly happen. I hope not. We’re gonna see a lot of wasted n95s if so. Few people know how to fit them and a whole lot of people have beards.

Here in Czechia they're mandatory in public buildings.
