How does the rate of consumption increase 25-fold? Which supplies? Even 5-6x would be reasonable, if capacity is maxed. By then the hospital would be turning patients away I assume..

Agreed. Even before Covid it was standard for healthcare workers to wear masks. They constantly work with patients with compromised immune systems and the like. They could be be asymptomatic and wouldn't risk passing it to someone weak

Being a true narcissist will torpedo any attempt to build meaningful relationships both personal and professional due to the lack of empathy or ability to put one in another person's shoes. This makes leading, negotiations and selling
