‘World using 129 billion disposable masks, 65 billion gloves monthly’

https://www.philstar.com/headlines/2020/08/02/2032368/world-using-129-billion-disposable-masks-65-billion-gloves-monthly

65 b/month means 780 b/annum
.............................

no wonder - its a structural change and glove makers are investing heavily for higher capacity

countries like china, whose consumption has doubled can only increase further due to serious needs for avoidance of repeating such catastrophic incident in the future

Only idiots would buy disposable masks.
Face masks can be made from old cloths and reused after washing.
