  I'd think in a time like this they'd donate this stuff to hospitals rather than charge for it.

    Some non-hospital workers need these too. Besides, how do you know what donations they have made? You could always buy some for your local hospital if you feel like making good on your virtue signalling.

      If they've just branched out into this and are selling at what op claims is a standard price then they're clearly profiteering off of a pandemic. Posts about soap, toilet paper etc being sold at msrp seem to garner down votes so what makes this an exception?
      This isn't virtue signalling, and buying then donating would go against my point. No need for the unsubstantiated argument.

        I'm not the one making unsubstantiated arguments. God forbid a company pivots to produce something in demand and thus keep their employees in a job.

        It could be argued that there is no "bargain" here, as there isn't a regular price, but it's not like they are price gouging.

  Styles are 'Hero' and 'Brave'. Barf. Just the kind of messaging that perpetuates the overworking of doctors and now in the pandemic to be sent off to die as acceptable losses in this "war".

      Putting doctors and hospital workers on pedestals by calling them heroes/brave reinforces the culture of the selfless doctors that will skip eating food, bathroom breaks, and working unsafe hours because it's a noble profession. It's easy to forget that it's just a job and no one should be driven to suicide over the levels of stress that is being caused by hospital administration not adequately staffing wards (and perhaps inadequate funding by gov't's).

      Combine that with Covid-19 and you've got health workers putting their lives on the line, and it doesn't help that some politicians calling it a war against coronavirus. It conjures images of soldiers going to war and dying for the cause. It normalises the concept of "acceptable losses" like in war - a sad but necessary sacrifice. No one should be at risk of going to work and dying with inadequate PPE (reports of hospital workers going to Bunnings for masks - or even being asked to reuse their masks). But these workers are in a tough spot: they care about their patients. They will show up to help regardless which is heroic.

        Thanks for this! So, Aus is also suffering from a shortage of PPE??

  Anyone figure out what the difference between the brave and hero styles are?

    rogue on 13/04/2020 - 18:27

    From what I can see Brave is available is two colours, hero is available in 5 colours?
