The not wearing masks things was terrible, because it seems like they probably recognized there was some benefit but they wanted to reserve them for health workers. That what I always thought and I'm not alone. The WHO seems to have a series of flawed statements (like the one recently where they made a misleading comment about asymptomatic people). It's like the who needs to hire a competent pr agency. If only they had said "there's some protective affect by wearing masks but we want to prioritize health workers getting ppe while we ramp up manufacturing".
