      🚨🚨‼️ Dr. Fauci on masks and asymptomatic spread: "There is some rationale we should use [masks] much more." YES. YES! They may shift!

      Another lengthy paper. Also I know that other doctors, virologists and epidemiologists are rushing with preprints and other compilations of evidence. The tough part will be switching messaging, but we have to do that.https://twitter.com/VirusWhisperer/status/1244479397958004741 …

      Finally! And I was accused of confusing #PubHealth messaging when I advocated that universal mask wearing WILL reduce #COVID19 spread. Here is a slide, with all documented refs, of how compliance rates of mask wearing affects the prevalence rate of influenza. #MaskDenialism https://twitter.com/ScottGottliebMD/status/1244460977615253504 … pic.twitter.com/4ph2cN6RD3

      I risked a lot to publish that mask oped weeks ago—against CDC and WHO guidance. Wished someone else would. Been called everything under the sun. But the scientific community is rallying around masks.💪But please, please, give the CDC/WHO space to shift.🙏https://twitter.com/JGLeBozec/status/1244602907854540801 …

      How is this happening? Is this true? Why aren’t masks rationed? “Roughly 280 million masks from warehouses around the U.S. had been purchased by foreign buyers and were earmarked to leave the country, according to the broker — and that was in one day.” Https://twitter.com/geoffreygertz/status/1244754128766734336 …https://twitter.com/geoffreygertz/status/1244754128766734336 …

      To see the problems with just leaving this issue to market forces, read this remarkable story on how speculators and middle men have taken over the secondary market for N95 masks in the US. It’s a disaster for both US and global interests. 4/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/daviddisalvo/2020/03/30/i-spent-a-day-in-the-feeding-frenzy-of-n95-mask-sellers-and-buyers-during-the-coronavirus-pandemic-this-is-what-i-learned/#279bb6e76af6 …

      More and more countries are accepting the overwhelming evidence and science that we clearly need universal mask wearing to combat a respiratory infection with asymptomatic spread. The sooner the better: first home-made, then ramped up domestic production.https://twitter.com/alanwongw/status/1244945031867166721 …

      In the meantime, at least three more European countries have joined the Czech Republic in mandating the use of masks. They are Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovakia and Austria.

      Just adding this here. Also reminder that a peer-reviewed publication looking at what worked for SARS, same family as COVID, found that *masks* were the most effective intervention—better than hand-washing. Keep washing hands and distance though! Need all!https://twitter.com/jeremyphoward/status/1242894386469486592 …

      What's happening here? Does this masks thing really make sense, scientifically? Yes, it does! Here's 34 scientific papers that all point to the same thing: masks (even home made ones) really work to dramatically reduce the spread of covid-19. http://tiny.cc/maskswork  pic.twitter.com/RQsvq9ezX0

      We should've ramped up national production in January, distributing N95s to hospitals and surgical masks to people like Taiwan did. Only three *total* deaths in Taiwan as of today, despite extensive travel to China before. But here we are. Let's start now.https://twitter.com/ryanstruyk/status/1244990603525570560 …

      FAUCI: "When we get in a situation where we have enough masks, I believe there will be some very serious consideration about more broadening this recommendation of using masks."

      Replying to @zeynep

      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.
