If that was actually a reason, don’t you think the article would have mentioned it? Also, if it is a reason, can you please cite to which law? I’m not aware of a law saying a manufacturer can’t set the price of n95 mask. A re-seller, however wouldn’t be able to hoard supply and then do a 10x price increase, which would be price gouging. If there was a competent firm that could offer n95 masks at any price to any of the hundreds of hospitals, I’d wager they could charge whatever price they want at this point.
