      Yep. That's why we can't just say "wear masks only if you're sick." Besides the fact that we're not testing enough so people can't know if they're sick, and that many can be infectious without any symptomps, it just creates a stigma around wearing a mask. https://twitter.com/NathanWomack_/status/1240071568421609473 …

      Please read this whole thread. We are eventually going to have to release people from lockdown, and universal mask wearing (not N95, but surgical masks) is one way to do it with less harm.https://twitter.com/scottgottliebmd/status/1240240377052958720 …

      THREAD: If the concern is that asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic younger Americans (millennials) are continuing to spread #Coronavirus because they don't heed warnings, you could require anyone between certain ages to wear a procedure mask when they go out. 1/n

      Folks don't @ me BUT do it: arrange locally to allow people to donate N95 masks to hospitals, maybe exchange with surgical masks. Hospitals are out of N95s; CDC is telling them to use surgical masks instead; people are sitting on N95s but hearing some willing to donate/exchange.

      The tragedy of this kind of top down misinformation is when we are done with the shortage how are they going to tell everybody to mask up? As they have to if we are to get through this? (Folks don’t hoard and donate N95s now).https://twitter.com/pinboard/status/1241628429369270272 …

      I'm going to say it outright. It's crystal clear that we'll have to adopt universal mask wearing as soon as we're over the shortage for healthcare workers. People still saying masks don't help, people won't know how to wear them, they can be harmful etc. are doing real harm.

      Not admitting the obvious fuels mistrust and hoarding more. People aren’t idiots. And once the shortage is over, it’s going to be tough to switch to universal mask wearing, which is obviously a requirement to get through the next year.https://twitter.com/itsybitsydots/status/1241847604662562816 …

      to be fair, this was probably the only way to get private individuals to not hoard the supply

      Local friends, UNC hospitals need donations of N95 masks and other supplies. It's a travesty we can't protect our healthcare workers despite months of warning. Also, if you needed proof any mask is better than none: they will accept homemade masks as well. https://www.unchealthcare.org/coronavirus/ways-to-help/ …pic.twitter.com/rNdtF55WRW

      The sooner we stop misinforming people about the need and efficacy of universal mask wearing, the better. Not telling the truth now will make it harder to pivot after the mask shortage. Also people can see through the bullshit and mistrust fuels hoarding.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1241821708400631808 …

      This top-down mask misinformation will cause another crisis: other critical workers (stores, pharmacies, delivery) will stop showing up because lack of masks means they are at high risk. Yes, hospitals first but then everyone at the front line and then all of us need to mask up.

      Went to the grocery store today (Charlottesville) and all the workers were maskless. Asked the young checker if the store had had any conversations about having checkers wear masks and she said no, she’d been told it was not needed unless you are sick.
