Regarding the Surgeon General's tweets: https://www.newsmax.com/us/surgeon-general-face-masks-jerome-adams-asymptomatic-spread/2020/05/14/id/967475/ https://www.newsmax.com/us/surgeon-general-face-masks-jerome... See earlier note about political appointees, especially by this administration. This isn't about health for them; it's about PR. Countries where its citizens wear masks have done much better against the disease. Countries where citizens claim "freedom" from wearing masks have just tallied 100,000 deaths so far. Japan has an extremely high population density. One of the highest proportions of elderly citizens in the world. Had cases arrive earlier there than in the US, so less warning. 869 deaths so far total. Why? For the most part, masks. Everywhere. Everyone. That and not waiting until it was too late to shut down public gatherings and schools. In other words, they had adults in charge and its citizens don't treat basic precautions like masks as some sort of tyrannical plot against democracy. (Last I checked, Japan was still a democracy.) Grow up. Wear the damn masks already.
