      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.

      It's the same company. Covidien was acquired by Medtronic in 2015.

          They're sending mixed messages. Some doctors said today that we should ALL wear masks to bring down the spread of COVID. Earlier we were told NOT to wear masks if we are not feeling sick. We need decisive leadership.

          Ok. Thanks. Didn’t know. Medtronic has a better culture then. Hope they keep it up.
