> Governments have been telling this, as well, but it cannot be 100% true. I supposed it was a white lie to prevent people from stockpiling. What I find crazy is (some) western governments complete inability to re-purpose (what's left of) their industries in a matter of days to produce needed masks and other accessories. You'd think there would be procedures already in place, but no, all they can do is monopolize re-sellers stocks for themselves. The inability of some so called first countries to handle that health crisis is a eye opener when it comes to how weak some western countries are. Where I live it's almost impossible to buy masks anywhere right now.
