Capitalism responds to the crisis

China can send you masks made in Wuhan for $1 each

China was way better prepared than Trump.

Not selling but putting up for bid.

As of Wednesday afternoon, Amazon had largely sold out of different mask varieties. Keepa, which tracks the prices of items sold on Amazon, shows that a 10-pack of 3M N95 respirators that sold for $18.20 roughly a month ago now costs $99.99.

Now you might note "Amazon". These aren't people making masks in their basement. These are people in the business of selling medical supplies.

Face mask prices surge as coronavirus fears grow

Face mask supplier 'charging hospitals $7 for 58-cent masks' as coronavirus crisis escalates

$7 for a 58 cent mask.!! Are there no laws protecting the public from this sort of abuse ?

Here in the US Capitalism has responded Tommy. Factories that don't usually make masks are making them; private companies are pumping out more and more tests. It's great.

Do tell us how your precious god NHS is doing, won't you?

All too late.

China let the virus escape from their lab. How many more times can they do this?

Not Enough Face Masks Are Made In America To Deal With Coronavirus

Bowen is at the center of a major problem that the coronavirus has made crystal clear: There aren't enough domestic manufacturers for critical medical supplies such as face masks. And even if production ramps up, it's unlikely to be enough in the current outbreak

Some think guns save. Some think capitalism saves. Some think socialism saves.

Being made here doesn't stop the greed. In many cases they are made in other countries by American countries because of greed.

Deflect away kids.

Stop trying to take advantage of a crisis.

Maine's Secretary of State just prohibited anyone from charging more than 15% more for necessaries than pre-panic prices. I've heard of them trying that kind of shit with building supplies after a hurricane or tornado, too. Some people just suck.

That law wouldn’t apply in this case, after further research the company is from Mexico and they can charge what they want. Blame the Mexican government for allowing their companies to overcharge.

I wasn't blaming any country, just the individual human assholes trying to scalp the health care system in its hour of desperation.

I think we can see who is taking advantage.

If the journalist assumes news is accurate without verifying it some or much of what they report could be fake

He didn't assume anything. He reported what he was told. You once again didn't answer my question though.

Thats an assumption till it is verified

which is basic journalism 101

It is, which is why I provided other verified examples of the same type of things.

There is no verified evidence that the .58/$7 mask story is true

The company that is being accused is a Mexican company, not a US company. I researched the story. We still don’t have the name of the supplier in Mexico.

So, Scott Stein (that makes $1 million in compensation a year) the CEO of Pheobe Putney Health Care Systems is upset with a Mexican supplier for charging $7 for a .58 mask, while Pheobe Putney Health Care System is charging patients $25 for an aspirin that cost $.11, seems ironic.

I didnt know the alleged company was mexican

maybe because the marxist influenced reporter failed to put that info into her story

The nationalists are getting as touchy as the President. This is a human problem, not a national problem.
