To ask the public for it... That makes no sense. Suppliers should be hitting med groups, hospitals, outpatient, ect ect before surplus hits free market. Evidently that's not the case.
I prepared this year by buying a **** ton of hand santizer for a few HS classrooms. Why didn't the purchasing suppliers for the hositals do that when the first cases of covid hit the US when med supply stock was plentiful....? Seriously... Everyone's **** up, leads to cries of help from the public.

I work at a hospital. We don't have room to warehouse material. We get supplies every day/night. Our suppliers have warehouses not us. We typically use 12-15,000 masks and gowns a week. When the supply chain works it works well. All it takes is a hiccup and we're screwed. Right now we're screwed.
