There's this true story about a thai guy who last month bought half a million of face masks and put one baht profit on top and sold the next day...

Wow I paid 160 baht per mask at a pharmacy in Thailand back in January.... so she was sitting on a cool 7million baht!

 

Oh wait those don't look like N95's nevermind.

Yeah the government ministers are in charge of the mass deal so they don’t like thai ladies cutting in on their business TIT

[CanuckThai]

You think that's a stash?  You should see the emergency spicy lobster instant noodles I have stocked for the Thombie (Thai ladyboy zombie) apocalypse!

Interesting how I saw in Makro, a few dozen people crowding around a table to try to cross infect, whilst registering and signing with their ID cards before joining another queue where they could exchange their vouchers for a pack of 3 surgical masks...

So obviously government distribution of the masks is more likely to have a very negative effect on transmission...
