Why can't masks reach the required quantity, but the alcohol production is basically sufficient?

In this epidemic, masks and disinfectant have become essential items for every household. However, masks are in short supply, but alcohol can be fully supplied to the people. Many people will have a question, why masks can't reach as many as they want, but the output of alcohol can be basically enough. Let me talk about my opinion!

First of all, we must understand that these are two different things. Masks are in direct contact with human skin, and alcohol is used to kill viruses. Furthermore, alcohol can't be compared with facial mask. The process of producing alcohol is not as strict as masks, and it can be produced in large quantities. Before the virus happened, the output of alcohol was sufficient. Masks are different, no one can realize that such a thing has happened, and mask manufacturers can't predict it. At the beginning of the epidemic, mask manufacturers began emergency production. And there is a very important reason, that is, the mask should be disinfected 14 days after production. Because there are no chemicals in the mask, disinfection takes enough time to make these chemicals disappear. Otherwise, it will also affect our health.

Until today, masks are still in short supply. Because there are too many people using masks, it can be said that everyone needs to use them. And some unscrupulous businesses are also hoarding masks to drive up prices. This is also a truth, but alcohol can't do it. The heart can be produced through many chemical reactions, so there is no need to rush to produce insufficient alcohol.

In this special period, every mask is precious and should be used reasonably. Instead of throwing it away as soon as it is used, it is very unreasonable. We must think about it. In this society, there are still many people who want to buy masks, but they can't. Of course, we must also pay attention to the authenticity of masks when buying them.

These are the reasons why I think the amount of mask can't reach. Then what do you think is the reason? Come and talk about your opinion in the comments section!
