Stats from April last year (which are probably still relevant now) was 60million masks a week for frontline workers. There's not a cat's chance in hell we'd get a look in at that sort of volume. If anyone things every nurse in the country will be wearing these masks it's a pipe dream.
Settings like care homes I can see as a viable target market, and companies such as cruise or airlines or delivery companies, pubs, restaurants, chefs (for example) . Plenty of relatively close contact and chance to spread, still required in high volumes and likely willing to pay a premium - and likely better than the 2 ply or "used every day for 6 months" fabric masks many will currently have.
These can be shifted in volume - at the end of the day they're still "single use" - just have an extended use period. Better for the wearer and others due to anti-viral properties etc - perfect for retail, food and travel IMO.
This is not a deramp - just, in my view free PPE in some care settings is unlikely to hurt us.
Just my opinion, DYOR.
