the cheap n95 respirator masks I bought say discard after 5 days max. but I am sure that pertains only to smog/dust not viruses.
And on top of that, one has to be fit-tested for those types of masks (source: sometimes I have to wear a P100 respirator, and the fit testing is annoying, but warranted). Also, you cannot have any facial hair, or it negates the mask.
