No, because while the CDC did incorrectly dismiss the value of masks and recommended that people focus on hand washing and distancing, they never said you must not wear a mask.
- doctoboggan 6y agoIIRC they said you shouldn’t wear a mask because you are probably doing it wrong and increasing the chance of touching your face.
- serf 6y ago> they never said you must not wear a mask. You're right, but.. What was said (by Surgeon General Jerome Adams) was for the American people to stop buying masks on March 2nd.[0] I don't know why that is effectively any different for folks that had no access to them.
