Maybe to prevent a rush on surgical masks so that they are kept for health workers who need them the most?

That's another lie. Go to HD or Walmart and ask them how long they've been out of stock for. There was never a rush in the US. Healthcare workers should have their own supply from hospitals.
But then they could advertise using home made masks no?
