The best argument against universal mask wearing (hospitals and medical staff need masks urgently) is answered by having people make masks for themselves at home out of cotton or other materials. These can *also* be donated to hospitals that run short of the real stuff.

Step 1 is to stop lying to the public about this simple and apparently very effective intervention.

Yes, having the supply issue & the effectiveness issue somehow rolled into the same weak advice against general mask-wearing is infuriating!

Be careful, there are only a few types of masks that block viruses and a homemade fabric one is not one of them. They also need to be disposable to avoid contaminating yourself after wear. There’s plenty of factual info supporting this.

The homemade masks are also effective, and can be sterilized for re-use. There are also good instructions out there for making single-use masks out of household materials.

Thank you for keeping on banging on about this. I've been doing it to family, friends, somethingawful and several discords and slowly making inroads and we need more people to spread the message.

This is great and true but you know if you tell people this right now they’ll hoard the strong stuff and it’ll kill healthcare workers.

Here the government has repeatedly said that wearing certain masks is very effective, BUT that those mask are being reserved for healthcare workers, to prevent them from running out. Healthcare workers need them more than the public does right now.
