Agreed. It's kind of fascinating that they said masks had "no benefit" but claimed that medical professionals had a dire need for masks. Speculation here, but I think if everyone had worn face coverings (i.e. scarves or even masks) early on, we wouldn't have as many cases in the US today. Combined with social distancing, we could have even possibly flattened the curve. edits: grammar

Can you supply a link that substantiates that? Other than Communist China making that claim? Please keep in mind CC would love to see the current admin discredited. It's naive to believe that everyone has put down their propaganda weapons. Not going to happen.

  I specified above that this is personal speculation. And no, I'm not a CCP shill, I'm a US college student who would very much like to get the full experience I paid for.

  I'm not sure exactly what you are asking for a source on. That people have claimed masks don't help? The idea appears to be widespread so I assume it must have been said multiple times. Here is a famous one https://twitter.com/Surgeon_General/status/1233725785283932160 https://twitter.com/Surgeon_General/status/12337257852839321...

In the early i days I saw that the dire need was for specific masks, eg the n95. And that surgical masks weren’t affective for them but they took what they could get. And Florida just issued their shelter in place - this country’s hate of science doomed it to the number of cases it was going to get regardless.
