    He may be a politician but he's not stupid. To me that's just deflection to avoid admitting he avoided a state shutdown because business lobbies were complaining.

    He knew full well.

    WTF???
    I'm pretty sure this is the guy they got the supplies from

    "Feldheim is also accused of price-gouging. On March 18, he’s suspected of selling a New Jersey doctor about 1,000 of the masks for $12,000, a markup of roughly 700 percent, authorities said.

    The accused fraudster also directed another doctor to an Irvington, NJ, auto repair shop to pick up another order."

    Then you have this:

    The South Texas border city of Laredo has ordered all residents to wear some sort of face mask or face cover in public buildings and while pumping gas starting Thursday.

    The new restrictions come at a time when the city deals with a spike in cases, which now stands at 53 cases, and three deaths linked to COVID-19 — the most in South Texas.

    During an emergency meeting on Tuesday night, the Laredo City Council voted to require that face masks that cover the nose and mouth be worn when entering a public building, pumping gas, riding in public transportation or a Lyft vehicle. The order was revised from a previous proposal that would have required masks to be worn by everyone everywhere outside the confines of their homes.

    Those not in compliance face a fine of up to $1,000.

    “We’re asking the public to cover their mouths and noses while going to and inside spaces where you have other people,” Laredo City Manager Robert Eads told media during a noon video conference call. He stressed that this can be done with a scarf or a bandanna, and he urged residents not to try and buy medical-grade face masks, which are in short supply and needed by doctors and nurses nationwide.
    So, wear a face covering or else we fine you. But don't buy a medical grade effective face mask because they are in short supply.

    What could possibly go wrong from everyone running around with bandannas covering their faces?

    Based on what I've heard the case investigations are from people trying to flog them on the medical/gov market and getting states to bid against each other.

    One guy in California mentioned had hundreds of thousands of medical supplies in a warehouse.

    To get investigated you normally had to be in clear predatory pricing behavior (bidding wars) and not be a typical large scale supplier. IE: the garage worker managed to buy up large quantities of medical supplies and was now trying to flog them, that was pretty suspect. Are you even large-scale providers can get call if they are trying to take advantage of the circumstance. Telling States they need to bid a higher cuz another state was beating them is an EZ pass to get on the radar

    One guy was called after he told a questioning officer he was positive and threatened to cough on him. So he was subsequently investigated and found to be large-scale hoarding.

    I've not seen any cases surface where a normal family with a normal quantity was impacted.

    This lecture is the most up to date I’ve seen yet on the 1918 pandemic, popped up in my feed when searching related videos. This guy is kind of a dork but really seems to know his shit and makes a very good case that the 1918 bug was North American in origin and likely originated in 1916.
