I suspect real operators who are on call for real operations already have what they need, and their orders are not in the queue at Questar or other suppliers.
The rest of us are using these products for leisure and recreation of various types.
I for one really appreciate the efforts that are being made in spite of holidays, vacations, business trips, illness, etc.
Nobody has asked me and it is certainly not my business, but I would further venture the suggestion that other than supplying something that somebody who is going in harms way desperately needs things like health, family, work-life balance and avoiding burnout are more important in the long run to the business, the employees and the customers than working excess hours to try keep everybody happy.
Perhaps if the demand is chronic and increasing there is a need for more people, but there are many other considerations and difficulties associated with that and it is almost never a quick fix to a surge in workload. It is also easy to make errors in selection and training when staffing under pressure, often leading to more problems later.
No doubt it is overwhelming and no doubt people will complain, but take it easy, do it properly. It will be done when it is done.
