If a random insurance company has 153,000 masks and respirators, why don't hospitals seem to have any stocks of masks, respirators, and other PPE they know they would need in the event of an epidemic?

What excuse does New York state and all its public health people and hospitals have for not having a supply of masks, gowns, gloves, and other PPE?

The finite assets can never keep up with the infinite demand
