What could possibly be the harm of having “too many” masks and ventilators?

Invoke DPA now! Nationalize the medical supply chain!

If we end up with too many…

Reminder that in 1945, when we were expecting to invade the Japanese home islands, we stocked up on as many body bags and Purple Hearts as we expected to need. Then Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and the battles never happened.

But body bags and medals have a shelf life of forever. 75 years later, we’ve still only used up half. The other half is still in warehouses, we’ll need them eventually.
