    Seriously people- STOP BUYING MASKS! They are NOT effective in preventing general public from catching #Coronavirus, but if healthcare providers can’t get them to care for sick patients, it puts them and our communities at risk! http://bit.ly/37Ay6Cm

        The best way to protect yourself and your community is with everyday preventive actions, like staying home when you are sick and washing hands with soap and water, to help slow the spread of respiratory illness. Get your #FluShot- fewer flu patients = more resources for #COVID19

        So when the public uses them, they don't work, so don't buy them. Besides we need them for health care workers, because they will get sick without them. This doesn't add up.

        I wouldn't follow or amplify ANY WH, Fed. Gov. advice or websites Many agencies directed/filled w/ Koch ppl. Some advice may be ok, but overall, expect a slew of disinfo, ineptness & chaos.They & their GOP have no intention of protecting the public.https://www.managedcaremag.com/archives/2018/10/it-s-team-trump-players-are-think-tanks-many-koch-brother-roots …

        We have many trusted Fed gov. employees..they aren't the issue, it's the Koch ppl overseeing much of gov. that is responsible for misleading the public. It's a good time for more public awareness, grassroots communication networks & local non GOP govhttps://www.citizen.org/news/koch/

        Are you a medical professional? If not, take a seat. This is the premier medical doctor of the country. He also ran a state health department AND has dealt with epidemics. He is a great communicator and if he is using this tone it sounds like we should listen.

        Is this your best advice? How about an emergency contract to companies who make masks?! Masks are already sold out so work on ensuring a ready supply.

        Also thinking this is the type of critical pandemic equipment the government should have already stockpiled.
