That's important, and really good news.  Another even more critical resource
that cannot be ramped up, and is in danger of ramping down, is trained
medical staff (doctors, nurses, etc.).  Even if a huge mob of eager
trainees were to be found (and fat chance of that), not much of the
necessary training could be skipped in order to bolster numbers quickly.

'Ramping down' is thus the likely effect of exposure -- which, getting
back to your point, is what ramping _up_ of N95 respirators should help
(in part) avert.

Are we having fun, yet?  ;->
