CDC is now denying that their masks guidance will be updated. May be different voices within the administration. Need more pressure on them to follow the research literature and recommend universal masks. @zeynep @jeremyphowardhttps://twitter.com/CDCgov/status/1243947313715961857 …

Insane how dysfunctional our government is. If there are N95 shortages and healthcare workers get priority, say that. Don't lie and say improvised masks don't help. 1) Thread w/ 34 cites https://twitter.com/jeremyphoward/status/1242894378441506816 … 2) NYT https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/17/opinion/coronavirus-face-masks.html … 3) WaPo https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/03/28/masks-all-coronavirus/ …

Jeremy Howard @jeremyphowardThe Czech Republic went from zero mask usage to 100% in 10 days, and in the process they halted the growth of new covid-19 cases. How? They made their own! They didn't need government help; they did it themselves. It's time for#masks4all. See why: https://youtu.be/BoDwXwZXsDI 1/Show this thread19 replies 130 retweets 429 likesShow this thread
Yes, this is pretty sad. Also, as soon as it seemed like they would change the policy, some people jumped on them for that. We should make the case for masks, and also make space for them make the change. It's a huge shift, will be difficult when they (hopefully!) decide to move.
