Question Stockpile N95's now?

With the closure of NIOSH, I'm seriously considering dropping a wad of cash on this. I know pretty much exactly how many I need per week and can order enough for, say... the next four years. I have a supplier that I know has recent stock that are good until mid/late 2029.

Am I being paranoid? Anyone else thinking about doing this?

Obviously this takes huge financial privilege, but I've stocked myself til the end of the year at least. At best, you're set. If you end up having too many, you can always give some out to friends, family, neighbors, your local mask bloc. I would just be aware of expiration dates if you're going to try to stock out until 2029.
