I do not understand the mask supply narrative at all. The medical supply channel is totally separate from retail channel.
I thought the same as well, why say don’t buy them if there are none to buy.

I can tell you why though, years of marketing brand management thinking:

If we see people on the streets wearing them that will make us look bad on TV and also fuel fear.

This is purely strategic. Perception is reality.

If you think more about this you’ll know where it’s really coming from.
