#2  That might be a good question for a doctor. Nowadays we treat fever rather than let it happen...

#1  I’ve read that one reason children are not falling ill with this thing, while the elderly are disproportionately showing up in the statistics is that it is temperature sensitive, so the fact that children tend to have a higher body temperature and are much more likely to run a fever is aiding their ability to resist it. If so, wouldn’t washing and ironing the masks be likely to kill residual virus particles? Something to look into, anyway, while prosecuting them for the fraud of selling used as new.
