I have seen that happen with the Ebola scare a few years ago.
ALL the PPE gets bought up, then prices soar (kind of like ammo did a few years ago) and it is scarce.

It is interesting that physicians in Italy wore PPE, to include masks, during the Black Plague

I'm thinking the mask looks almost like some of Louis Pasteur's swan neck bottles that began our understanding of germ theory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germ_theory_of_disease
