Pantman42 - "PPE is being stockpiled!"
When the armed forces get involved with measures to reduce the effects on the populace of covid-19, we will see PPE for medical staff become more available.
There is a 'war reserve' of PPE, which needs high authority to issue.
As soon as authority is given, medics in the services are provided with PPE, and instructions to replenish stocks are immediately issued. The contractors have specific timelines to replenish.
Not sure how much PPE we are talking about, but I would expect the above to kick in as described.
