      Another European country is looking at switching to universal mask wearing. The evidence is clear. Still need to keep distancing and hand washing but it’s a potent tool in the arsenal.https://twitter.com/rover829/status/1244587811946106882 …

      🚨🚨‼️ Dr. Fauci on masks and asymptomatic spread: "There is some rationale we should use [masks] much more." YES. YES! They may shift!

      Another lengthy paper. Also I know that other doctors, virologists and epidemiologists are rushing with preprints and other compilations of evidence. The tough part will be switching messaging, but we have to do that.https://twitter.com/VirusWhisperer/status/1244479397958004741 …

      Finally! And I was accused of confusing #PubHealth messaging when I advocated that universal mask wearing WILL reduce #COVID19 spread. Here is a slide, with all documented refs, of how compliance rates of mask wearing affects the prevalence rate of influenza. #MaskDenialism https://twitter.com/ScottGottliebMD/status/1244460977615253504 … pic.twitter.com/4ph2cN6RD3

      I risked a lot to publish that mask oped weeks ago—against CDC and WHO guidance. Wished someone else would. Been called everything under the sun. But the scientific community is rallying around masks.💪But please, please, give the CDC/WHO space to shift.🙏https://twitter.com/JGLeBozec/status/1244602907854540801 …

      How is this happening? Is this true? Why aren’t masks rationed? “Roughly 280 million masks from warehouses around the U.S. had been purchased by foreign buyers and were earmarked to leave the country, according to the broker — and that was in one day.” Https://twitter.com/geoffreygertz/status/1244754128766734336 …https://twitter.com/geoffreygertz/status/1244754128766734336 …

      To see the problems with just leaving this issue to market forces, read this remarkable story on how speculators and middle men have taken over the secondary market for N95 masks in the US. It’s a disaster for both US and global interests. 4/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/daviddisalvo/2020/03/30/i-spent-a-day-in-the-feeding-frenzy-of-n95-mask-sellers-and-buyers-during-the-coronavirus-pandemic-this-is-what-i-learned/#279bb6e76af6 …

      More and more countries are accepting the overwhelming evidence and science that we clearly need universal mask wearing to combat a respiratory infection with asymptomatic spread. The sooner the better: first home-made, then ramped up domestic production.https://twitter.com/alanwongw/status/1244945031867166721 …

      In the meantime, at least three more European countries have joined the Czech Republic in mandating the use of masks. They are Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovakia and Austria.

          Talking about Italy, look at this article. Clickbaity title about "miracle water" who saved the village, and then... "We were the first town in the area to distribute masks to all families, and we are still distributing replacement masks". *journofacepalm*https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/30/coronavirus-miracle-water-said-to-have-spared-italian-village …

          I'm confused: The title isn't that great but both the article and title are saying that the 'miracle water' didn't help and that the mayor rejects the idea of the miracle water.
