      Yes, I've been trying to make that point for weeks. Distributing some masks now: fewer intubations in three weeks. Each intubation has massive need for PPE compared to that mask. The trick is managing the transition without depriving medical workers now.https://twitter.com/litwicki/status/1245038781700272128 …

      They just don't seem to get that if more people *outside* of hospitals were wearing masks, there would be fewer people *inside* hospitals. Holding back all the masks only for healthcare workers only ensures hospitals will be more overwhelmed & healthcare workers more at risk.

      On the one hand, thank you. On the other hand, it was a hard piece to write, personally (a lot of risk). On the other other hand, the science was clear and media should challenge authorities when/if the science/facts warrant it. Otherwise what's the point?https://twitter.com/juicemoorthy/status/1245043144678244352 …

      I've been a fan of @zeynep since before Twitter and Tear Gas. Here she rightly calls out the WHO and CDC for improper guidance on masks, though she could have also called out the media more generally for not questioning the guidance when plenty of data to the contrary. https://twitter.com/thefactualnews/status/1245038735340621824 …

      In the digital age, neither journalists nor pundits need to spend too much time merely repeating what the authorities say, but rather also evaluating it in a credible and fact and science based manner. No science/facts=crank. No evaluation=irrelevant.https://twitter.com/thefactualnews/status/1245038735340621824 …

      However, the media did not change its stance on masks until March 17, when @zeynep recognized the media's shortcomings in a @nytimes article. Tufekci acknowledged precisely just what was wrong with CDC messaging, and how the media failed to question it. http://nyti.ms/2UuE6Zk

      See this screenshot of Taiwan's action on masks (link has list of all its actions). Taiwan had extensive ties/travel with China but it has a total of five COVID-19 deaths and only a few hundred cases. Its schools have been open for more than a month. https://cdn.jamanetwork.com/ama/content_public/journal/jama/0/jvp200035supp1_prod.pdf …pic.twitter.com/F1WKuUgumG

      These articles aren’t even attempting to be coherent anymore. There is no known evidence of harm. It’s a lot of weird speculation—all of which flies in the face of all the overwhelming scientific evidence we have.https://twitter.com/rtenews/status/1245793379834908672 …

      But the world is moving. Time for WHO and the CDC to catch up to making evidence-based recommendation for face masks. People need guidance on sanitization/reuse for cloth, and we need rationed distribution once we have surgical mask production catch up.https://twitter.com/nycmayor/status/1245855631241707522 …

      We have new guidance for New Yorkers: We're advising New Yorkers to wear a face covering when you go outside and near others. It can be a scarf, a bandana or one you make at home. But PLEASE: save medical masks for our health care workers & first responders who truly need them.

      Replying to @zeynep

      I’m getting a lot of accusations based on pop psychology when challenging the prevailing advice (or old advice) on masks. It’s a last resort when data isn’t on their side.
