The very least, it could lead to a greater understanding of how COVID-19 works, and how drug candidates react to it.

Doesn't hurt to ask but I wouldn't be surprised if they don't take it. A lot of hospitals don't really have a workflow for dealing with reusable masks like that (there's a reason they use disposable PPE).
Fwiw, according to the CDC n95 type masks are reusable unless specifically marked non-reusable, and i've seen a lot of anecdotal statements from medical personnel that they're cycling through 3 masks, etc. But yeah, that applies mainly to hospitals in catastrophic circumstances.

It's also a huge hit to staff morale when they're forced to re-using a mask, especially between shifts.

As far as stuff like this? Not much. Rhode Island decided to block off visitors from New York, and the governor of New York threatened to sue them because of it. The states are actually who are deciding ground level responses to this, which is why I think it's salient to compare our numbers with the EU as a whole. If New York decides to lock down but Florida leaves the beaches open, the disease is going to spread, and the Federal government can't really stop or force either response.

Fair points, and especially the morale bit i hadn't seen before.

In case you hadn't seen it yet: There's a HK customer protection org website that claims N95 masks can be sterilized with very little loss of functionality by holding them into hot steam.

Personally, i don't even care what his credentials are. If i'm wrong and he has the knowledge then i'd love to be accurately and clearly corrected about how i'm wrong, and i gave him plenty of chances to do that.

I bet it's however mostly a thing to do with testing and available data, almost no european country has been doing quarantine long enough for there to already be a big decrease in new cases.

I'm guessing it's simply because large scale testing is finally happening in the US.

Similar to how South Korea's numbers shot through the roof when they kicked off the mass testing. A shame it took so long to get to that point.

Not wearing masks.

Y'all who bring up the "it can get in your eyes" line are correct, but you know that there are things called goggles and safety glasses, right? And the one DIY link posted earlier (https://www.consumer.org.hk/ws_en/news/specials/2020/mask-diy-tips.html) advocates using a plastic file folder as a face shield.
