They're Officially As Good as N95s...but I've found them to be as hard to get as N95s, too

Personally, for day to day use I have no-name KN95s, I got them from a reputable enough source that I trust they're not counterfeit. I have a couple of cases of 3M N95s for travel to hot zones, like today; if the SHTF really bad I even have a full-blown reusable respirator with P100 cartridges, the absolute gold standard for bioprotection. Which was surprisingly cheap...as in $13 for the mask and $22 for 3 sets of cartridges.
