      NEW: CDC guidance on masks expected to change in next 10 days. Americans will be advised to wear masks in everyday life. Current recommendation is for high-risk groups only.

      Not wearing masks is exponentially increasing the pileup at the hospitals, putting health care workers more at risk. We can manage the transition through rationing. Everyone would’ve been better off from the start if this had been the recommendation—with rationed distribution.

      That’s already here. That’s why we need controlled small amount of distribution with instructions on sanitization/reuse till we can ramp up. Not wearing masks is exponentially fueling an epidemic with substantial asymptomatic spread. Health care worker aren’t then better off.

      The run on masks already happened and the muddled messaging probably fueled hoarding—mistrust does that. We need the honest communication: There are too few for healthcare workers and they get all the N95s. Rest of us manage a limited supply including homemade while we ramp up.

      This is why the situation requires top down proper communication and control. Absent guidelines that makes sense, people are buying whatever they can get their hands on—including N95s.

          Taiwan rations masks. No problems. Even sending 100,000 a week to US free.

          At the absolute bare minimum people should be making masks at home

          Alternatively, if you’re not handy, you can support the many vendors on Etsy who are selling masks.

          In China everyone was ordered to wear a mask. A pharmacist contracted the virus because a customer coughed on her. If she had been wearing a mask, that wouldn't have happened. Anything is better than nothing. Here's a link to a no sew mask from a bandanahttps://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10215675124902280&id=1566851278 …
