- gowld 7y agoNo, but that is wartime propagate for you. After a decade of failure to restock emergency supplies after 2005 swine flu, whatever they do now regarding mask distribution is just rearranging Titanic deck chairs.
- perl4ever 7y agoI don't mean to suggest it's wrong to discourage people, that would depend on what the best thing to do with the limited supply is. And I think some quotes I've seen have been fairly transparent about the motivation for telling people not to wear masks.
- borplk 7y agoThey don't want to cause a surge of demand for masks by the general population so they keep downplaying the need for it by the general population so the healthcare workers can get them instead. Masks physically cover your high risk areas such as nose and mouth and if they don't help they don't hurt either. If there was an infinite supply of masks I guess that they would absolutely recommend everyone to wear them. Also because wearing a mask protects both the person wearing it and the people around them.
