I was under the impression that there isn't (yet? But not even close to) a supply issue for the healthcare sector, but rather only at retail, due to a combination of increased demand and supply switching over to for-healthcare-only mode.

This will be something that's routine, just following the plan, that exists to serve some combination of regulation, duty, and risk (burning important healthcare customer or government relationship) mitigation.



Not yet, because outside of active infection hotspots healthcare workers don't yet use significantly more masks than usual.


use of course, but they're still stocking up. Despite that I don't believe it's an issue. It's just prioritising supply.
