Question: Why is it that all of these profiteers were able to hoard these masks etc. while the hospitals, health departments etc. who supposedly are the experts who saw it coming did not? This goes for Federal, state and local, D or R, public or private.

I cannot answer that entirely, but one aspect is that hospitals will only get supplies from certain suppliers. They put in bids on specific platforms. Many of those sources were simply out of supply. They would never source supplies on whatsapp and from random brokers who have dodgy paperwork, if any.

Okay, did they stockpile them in Jan and Feb? Was there a shortage already then from these places stockpiling?

And this
Weird, because prices have dropped over the past few days...why was he hording?

The only reason I can think of is....that he bought it very high and couldn't turn a profit ( or large profit..).

A lot of supply from January/February was bought by people sending to China.

Why? They didn't have enough in China, and many were buying it for family/friends.

I don't mean the people buying, but rather it not being stockpiled by those who should/could have know that we would need them here shortly after.

1. Yes.
2. There was no demand in the US until the beginning of February

In hindsight that doesn't seem too smart.

They had no idea that the prices would skyrocket like that. They were offered x2 x3 and took the offer.

I don't mean the distributors either.

For hoarding seems the govt will confiscate and pay fair market value

"Pre-COVID-19 market value"

I am sure that will be litigated under eminent domain.

Clearly they don't think so either, otherwise the BP guy would've been charged with that, not just coughing and lying.

+1 never talk to police or government. Always have ur lawyer contact them even if you did nothing wrong and even for a traffic stop.

Just give them ID when legally required and that's it.

You can do this respectfully by saying "I was instructed by my lawyer not to talk and Respectfully dont want do."

Hope ppl learn their lesson.
Always praying for delayed baggage.
