As the COVID-19 outbreak progresses, I’ve been watching the effects on supply chains and the impact of true demand (N95 masks) versus hyped demand (toilet paper). Both examples are currently seeing stock-outs, but the toilet paper shortage is more of a logistics issue than a physical supply problem. N95 masks have both a physical quantity limitation (12 million in the national stockpile) and a logistical problem: there are over 6,000 hospitals in the US.
