CDC and WHO telling us, incorrectly, that mask use among population isn't helpful (rather than the truth: there is a dire shortage; we have to prioritize medical people while we find a way to get masks to ordinary people) fuels mistrust and panic buying.

People can see the few countries that have been relatively successful (Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, China after initial screwup) all have, among other things, universal surgical mask wearing. Without CDC guidance, they just go buy whatever masks they find, making things worse.
