Valved masks have legitimate uses in construction and hazardous work. They existed well before the pandemic and have a raison d'être.
You really think suppliers should cap or completely halt entire lines of (legitimate) business because governments are not properly regulating mask use or people are not heeding public health advice?
- p1mrx 6y agoThe number of legitimate uses isn't zero, but it has greatly decreased. How often do people do construction and hazardous work when no one else is nearby?
- giantg2 6y agoActually, no. The number of legitimate uses is still the same. The market share of those uses have simply decreased in relation to the uses causing the new spike in demand.
- p1mrx 6y agoActually, yes. Before the pandemic, it was reasonable for construction workers in the same room to use valved masks. Now they are only appropriate for people working in isolation, which is a less common scenario.
- giantg2 6y ago"...a less common scenario." But still a scenario. You have three buckets and six balls evenly distributed among them. Now you move the balls so they have a distribution of 4, 1, and 1. You still have three buckets, even though two of them are used less. Please reread my prior comment with this in mind as you are misinterpreting what I wrote.
