        This unethical profiteering at a time like this will be harshly judged in the future. I don’t see medical staff, who are risking their lives for others, will consider these companies in the future.

        You would think so, but the medical staff doesn't buy the devices. If people who do are getting kickbacks for making big deals, then it will continue Don't underestimate the bullshit (read: corruption) that happens for money, especially in the medical and insurance industries

        Does Kushner own shares in Covidien? (I would say Trump but I doubt the guy has any money)

        Despite the fact that Trump Has no money of his own, he owns an awful lot of assets... thanks to Deutschebank and his/their money laundering business.
