    This by @zeynep is a great piece which answered many of my questions about the politics, production and usefulness of masks, especially this one I've been pondering: If we all could be asymptomatically infected, shouldn't we *all* be wearing masks?https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/17/opinion/coronavirus-face-masks.html?action=click&module=Opinion&pgtype=Homepage …

        (Also, my hot take after reading it: The means of production of the US capitalist manufacturing system, which quickly & efficiently produces so much shit no one needs or ever wants, should have been seized by the federal government to make masks and respirators like yesterday.)

        A lesson I took from this article: It's irrelevant to think *I* need a mask to protect *me*. Mask usage will only be a helpful tool if *we* collectively demand industry & govt make them widely available. (Medics & food sellers need them until that's possible, so no hoarding!)

        All my chinese student families wear masks in their own homes! Not the children the adults. I asked a consultant on a forum his answer was the same - people dont wear them correctly. It makes not sense to me - 1/

        2/ He said: To be honest I think masks for the public are worse than useless for one simple reason: People don't know how to put the masks on properly, fit them properly and take them off properly and therefore they are useless for most people.

        People can be taught to use masks properly, it’s not rocket science! There are no excuses for the kind of shortages we are facing, especially that we saw this coming!..

        3/ Also, it is FAR safer to stay at home socially isolated than be out and about wearing a mask so I think the government has hit on one simple message and are focusing on that - socially isolate/distance and handwash. I think they are probably right to do so."

        1) you can put tweets in a reply-thread 2) then the government should be educating people about how to do that!

        wearing a mask also discourages you from touching your own face.
