    The early guidance not to wear face masks was a huge and tragic screw up.https://www.irishtimes.com/news/world/europe/face-masks-highly-effective-against-covid-19-new-evidence-suggests-1.4276883 …

        I was guided by a South Korean doctor in a video who said, "Of course masks help!"

        It helps to get some of your news from other countries. And as an American, realize there are other countries out there "America is the greatest" is not a helpful way of thinking, if you want to learn from other countries

        Masks, sun umbrellas, daily group exercise... maybe we should take note of the cultural habits of peoples who live the longest?

        Not as much as the current trend of not having people wear them. So Yeah America.

        The US Centers for Disease Control will have a lot of explaining to do once we take our country back.

        Do you think maybe they said that so people in the health care field would be able to have access to them? Dr’s and nurses were running out of PPE before there was a run on masks. We were incredibly unprepared for this

        At a minimum it doesn't make it worse. That's a good enough reason to wear one

        Unless they’re ineffective yet give people a false sense of security. That was the argument I heard early on from virus experts who said don’t bother with masks
