I’m waiting for the next great american excuse from them not to wear a mask.

This nightmare won’t end until we make & administer tens of millions of rapid-result tests, trace & sequester the sick & exposed, and make & wear hundreds of millions of masks in public. No priorities are higher than these. Let’s all get on board.

* including when the only pandemic going on are "only" the flu, the common cold, etc.

Yes, but where do you find them?

Not just surgical, even homemade ones out of cotton t-shirts or paper towel are way better than nothing

Shortage is still a problem in all countries. "US bought France-bound face masks for CASH from China" https://www.rt.com/news/484723-us-france-face-masks/ …

Sew them yourselves and wash at max temp. or boil. Healthcare workers need disposable masks. The exact same thing I said to my friend in India a couple of days ago, somehow hoping that he could help 1375 million people.

It also helps as reminder for others to keep the distance
