There are a lot of questions to answer about masks. Who makes them, how many, what price they are sold for and who to? These question are political.

Early on in the pandemic, around April, selling masks for $7 was considered price gouging [0] and $1.27 was the politically fair price. The tech companies are already facing various government investigations for being greedy capitalists; I can very much see the wisdom of whoever decided to stay away from masks.

I'm watching with interest what happens to these small time mask makers. Their fate will influence the behaviour of people who anticipate the next crisis.
