You raise an interesting question. I am sure that the larger players supply directly. Certainly, 3M has a presence here and I am sure the hospitals and government agencies would have a direct tender price. At the base level of aged care and similar - yes I would expect PGC to see some of that increase. However, the scarcity of supply would probably limit upside in the short term.

I don't think anyone can even imagine the likely outcome when the virus spreads uncontrolled through the world's population, as it surely will. Of course many will die, particularly the elderly, but the effects on the world's financial system will be equally devastating. Presumably healthcare and gold stocks will fare better than a lot of others but all will suffer. Cash at the bank earning 1.5%pa is probably the best option right now.
