Sadly all those (well-meaning) posts from healthcare experts on how masks won't work for ordinary people because they won't wear them correctly likely encouraged hoarding even more. That was never a message that would work. No wonder I'm constantly seeing online ads for masks!
The issue is the shortage, and I think a lot of people in health think telling folks to preserve them for the sick will work when, in my view and experience, it backfires and encourages hoarding.

There is no shortage! I know several suppliers that have stock. It’s just poor supply management and resourcing.

I didn’t say the paper makes that conclusion—the paper is erroneously being used to that end, not by me. As for your claim that there is no shortage. I’m a doctor. Taking care of patients. There’s a shortage at my hospital. We are canceling elective surgeries because of it.
