Mmmmm, says something about you, £3.73

Seriously though, this is causing a lot of problems in Mexico but on a wider note, there is nothing the medical industry loves more than a good old epidemic.

Regarding e-bay, I recall that at the height of the SARS epidemic years ago, surgical masks were going at the same rate you describe and in the USA e-bay pulled the listings. I think it was because they claimed to disapprove of profiteering (ha!). As we now know, e-bay has no conscience regarding any kind of profiteering so don't hold your breath for them doing the same now.

I'll certainly be holding my breath at these bloody prices !
(those sellers should be wearing masks)

Holding your breath might be a good idea anyway, will save on the cost of masks. Although I believe holding your breath will kill you a lot faster than the flu will.

I hear on the news this afternoon that prices of shares in pharmaceutical companies have risen. It was also reported that the share prices of fish producing companies had risen (Marine Harvest was mentioned) possibly on the assumption that there will be a transfer of demand from pork to fish. Of course, this will mean that the price of farmed fish will probably rise if this threat continues

Every cloud has a siver lining for somebody.
