I do not know why anyone -- without immune system problems - would purchase a mask in a time of short fupply. Just stay home.
Depriving heathcare providers of protective devices not only puts their lives at risk, it means that they are unable to care for the dozens each day that they would otherwise. Depriving them of masks could led to 100s or 1000s of deaths. Besides the utility factor -- more dead because healthcare workers are deprive than the few who might die because a mask is not present in a home, what kind of greedy SOB values her/his life more than the life of another. Far better to die, even miserably, than to cause another to do so.
