Insane how there are so many masks in corporate and private hands. Hospitals are literally reusing masks! Governments that have emergency powers need to use them to collect all non-emergency masks and give them to hospitals.https://www.cnn.com/world/live-news/coronavirus-outbreak-03-21-20-intl-hnk/h_afce242d11bb7e68c2ec1821dd6946a2 …
This whole thing is government's fault. Using emergency powers to seize masks would, besides being a completely unnecessary fuck-you to private business, do more harm than good. Gov't and hospitals don't know how to get masks. Private biz does. Get the FDA/CDC out of the way!

It's not unnecessary. Hospitals are on the front lines of a crucial public health battle. If hospital workers get sick, we can't fight the disease. This happened in Wuhan when many doctors were infected.

There are limited masks. In the medium run they will be mass produced by businesses, in the short term they must be rationed. Individual citizens and businesses don't need them as much.

These pandemics are known to be a significant risk. Many warnings. Yet the CDC, FEMA, and others apparently did absolutely nothing. Our 'elites' are only good at incompetence and stuffing their pockets.

Hanlon's razor says incompetence, but man...it was bad. Every other country, more or less, made the same mistakes, which suggests it was indeed incompetence.
