This article is garbage, we had hospitals wasting supplies at the start because they assumed their price fixed PPE supply would last forever. Now they use plastic bags.

So this is not about disaster profiteers. This is about total and utter incompetence of hospitals planning ahead. Which happens every day, just it's happening to a lot of people at once compared to your grandmother who died last year of a preventable issue because the bureaucrats in the hospital didn't care and doctors are to specialised to know about the world around them.
