The CDC knew that masks worked but the surgeon general was worried that there would not be enough masks for healthcare workers, and recomnended not to use them.

Seriously people- STOP BUYING MASKS!

They are NOT effective in preventing general public from catching #Coronavirus, but if healthcare providers can’t get them to care for sick patients, it puts them and our communities at risk!

This created an explosion in cases, especially cites like New York with lots of commuters and people close to each other. This never happened in Tokyo or Hong Kong wihich is even denser, but everone wears a mask.

The resulting masssive number of cases created a shortage of masks for healh care workers. How ironic. Maybe if the CDC did the righ thing in the beginning, and told everyone to protect themselve and others by wearing a mask in February none of this would have happened.

Front line workers should have priority over general public. That seems obvious?

That is a separate issue. The US is the most powerful and wealthiest country in the world. If they need more masks, they can make or acquire them.

Many people find that the CDC acted disingenously by telling people that masks don't work but then in the same breath telling them that they need to be saved for healh care workers.

Why tell people something false when it can jeopardize many lives, espeicially coming from the CDC.

Unfortunately 3M has been selling masks like crazy to foreigners for straight up Cash and up until now the distributor are making a killing with the markup... that's going to change real soon.

What's also fucked up is that the CDC is in the state of Georgia whose governor has the IQ of a rock and is just now shutting things down and taking precautions.

I’m guessing he’s a Republican? They all are anti science, well many

Can never really trust those fuckers

Trump is getting nervous now because he's finally realizing that many of the old republicans may not be alive to vote for him in November, since they are the main hoax proponents.

And he said that he didn't know until 24 hours ago that asymptomatic carriers can infect others. He is either a bald-faced liar or incredibly stupid. I bet he gets re-elected.

Meanwhile in Canada, Bauer will start making protective masks for COVID prevention. I'm starting to see Canada made products in the future. We should really as a nation start supporting products made here and start refusing products made from China.

Something is better than nothing. A scarf or bandana covering the nose and mouth still catches particles coming and going. We don't know what the viral load is to cause an infection.

I wouldn't get all worked up about this. Greater Atlanta and Savannah had been sheltering in place.

The Georgia Governor could have been trying to scare people particularly young people. All over the U.S. you see young people in groups hanging out, playing basketball, etc.

I believe Sweden just decided to issue a shelter in place order. Every government entity is trying to figure out how to ride this virus out. Perhaps in May, we will all be wearing masks and our elderly and at risk population will be closeted from the rest of us.

I saw that . What a fucking idiot . He is both , a liar and an idiot . He's the guy that rigged the election so many people were not allowed to vote so he could win . I wonder if he is happy now about being the Governor .

 

[uchual]

Good luck finding one.

 

[WyattEarp]

Yes, that's exactly what happened because the defeated candidate keeps saying this and the media keeps repeating it. Never mind the record voter turnout in Georgia.

agreed

 

[superstar_88]

Is Bauer still Canadian?

 

[hamermill]

Lots of ugly people out there.

Trump has stopped 3M from sending masks to Canada.

 

[Jasmina]

So. Angry. About. This.

We should cut off the oil supply. Fuck tRump.

Also, I hobby with chemicals so I am fortunate enough to have had a stash of reusable N95s. Whew.

One can hope.
