Yes so on this item. They should have stuck with the original advice. This is a mistake because most Americans do not know how to wear the mask properly and sealed against the skin so in my view it is largely useless to wear one. However a number of women mostly have been writing in and saying they wanted to wear a mask if the health professionals were wearing one. So you will see a lot of folks running around with improperly fit masks with a false sense of security that they have been protected when in fact they have rendered the mask useless by improper wear. So I am not sure this helps any.

Additionally, the general public can buy and wear the N95 mask without it impacting health care workers because health care workers only wear the perfect condition masks set aside for them. The general public can be sold the N95 masks that are reconditioned (marked as "used") or have minor cosmetic damage to them and they are sold on Amazon. I don't think the term "used" means someone has worn them, suspect it means the package was opened or damaged in shipment or the masks have cosmetic damage that does not impact their operation.
