Is there still a shortage in the US?

Here in Germany (we need surgical masks or (K)N95/FFP2 masks to go to the store or for public transport) they have been available easily for a while. Prices for Made in Germany ones were (and are) high, but getting Chinese-made masks shipped from EU or German warehouses was easy, and now one of our discounters (Lidl) started selling them for 0.88€ ($1.07) per piece.

I bought 20 FFP2 and 50 surgical masks in a pack from a German medical equipment importer for 25€ ($30).

It's quite easy to get KN95 (even ones approved by FDA and tested by CDC) and KF94 (same). N95 and N99 are not as easy come by, but I think people fixate on those a but to their detriment. My Powecom KN95 and Dr. Puri KF94 are far, far, far superior to any N95 mask I've ever had in the way it seals my face, and their effectiveness is similarly good (https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npptl/respirators/testing/NonNIOSH...).

You can buy packs of kn95 masks on Amazon with same day delivery so I assume the shortage is gone.
