It looks like a typical machine can manufacture a mask 50~100 per minute. For 40 hour work week that is 200k masks per week. So technically we only need 5000 of these machines to produce 1bn a week.

Are the machines made in China?
I'm not sure how that's relevant now that China is largely back to work.
Could probably assume only 90% of that due to typical line down time for maintenance, sku changes, operator error, etc.
