In this attempt by the US government to stop this pandemic I found their suggestion not to wear mask the most disgenuine of all, especially knowing that countries with high mask wear awareness see this virus much more under control. In the same paragraph they already express they really need those masks for themselves so they don’t want you to hoard. Another argument was they only help when you sick. So all medical personel is sick? What a BS! Even more when they know you may be asymptomatic for up to 9 days.
The only thing I can think of equal to this would be if during HIV outbreak they were to tell you not to use condoms at all because study shows they don’t protect exact 100% times, and you can cut your member with your nail while you putting the rubber on, making it more prone to infections than when you’re actually wearing one.
Government really messed up on this one. Once the dust settles it will probably go into history books how our government suggestion not to buy/wear mask caused USA to be #1 in statistics.
