Agreed. If everybody in the country had been wearing procedure masks in public since January 20 we would not be having a crisis in our emergency rooms.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Instead of rationing, which we know will hurt low-income people most likely to live in crowded conditions & not have paid leave — why isn't our federal gov't manufacturing masks &
#PPE 24/7 & distributing free/ at cost? Why is Trump's refusal to do this accepted &#normalized? -
We have to ration at first. Can take work requirement into account. (More for grocery clerks etc.)

Grocery stores workers can't stay home. People need to buy essentials. If we don't mask them up, healthcare workers are going to be dealing with exponentially increasing numbers of very sick people. Becoming Lombardy is more dangerous to healthcare workers than being Taiwan.

They're also dying because more people are infected than needed to have been because of this anti-mask guidance.

Thank you for sharing that
#alternativeFact with us, Dr. Tufekci. Now would you also share the evidence it's based on with us? -
David, you suggesting had public been wearing masks, we wouldn't be better off? THEY LIED telling the public not to wear masks FOR AN AIRBORN VIRUS. They were rationing because they didn't prepare. If masks protect front-line, they protect the public. We would've had less spread.

You can't ration distribution because that would force people to use infected masks which defetes the purpose of wearing it in the first place. Besides we've already got a shortage for medical professionals and almost no private citizen using them.

I saw maybe 10-15 people wearing masks on my last supermarket trip. re: reuse: multiple studies have shown that N95 masks can be effectively sterilized with 30 minutes of 160 degree heat, and about the same time exposure to UV-C light
