Expand Whatever it is it must be fear causing panic buying. Whether it's mask shortage or toilet paper shortage it's the panic buying causing the shortage. With added rumours here and there, no need to bother to go find anymore. Sure dont have stock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watwheels Supersonic February 17, 2020 Share February 17, 2020 These ppl never for once stop and think. If they really kenna the virus where will all their hoarded toilet paper and mask go? They and their family will be haul up to the isolation center. What will happen to their stock of mask and toilet paper? They had hand contact with these items. It will just go to waste.

Expand I think many of these factories are first trying to help themselves. Because the law now is no mask cannot start work, but if they are producing mask, they might just get away with the restriction. So the mask production might be partly internal use, and rest for gov use. Otherwise no way they can start work on your core business, and getting mask from other supplies is almost impossible. This one is just 过度 only, unless they find that mask business is profitable, otherwise when things get over, likely they will also shut it down. However they will still keep the machines in case of emergency i think. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
