Anecdote time: so everyone knows PPE is in short supply, and it still is. But there is a thing called a "papr" that is way better than N95's but more expensive and obviously how scarce. Well it turns out that since you can't wear N95's with a beard, a lot of male HCP's are growing out beards so they can get paprs instead of sterilized N95's, and no females get paprs. Meanwhile the hospitals are trying to discourage the women but to wear makeup because if it gets on the N95 they won't be able to sterilize it. This is in the United States of America right now
