CDC: If all Americans wore masks, COVID19 could be controlled in 6-12 weeks
- just-juan-post 6y agoSeveral points: - Do we trust the CDC this week? Yesterday they were corrupt liars and not to be trusted. See also next point. - Is this a political stunt to push off blame? "Jeez if everyone just wore a mask we would be done with it, not my fault X people died". - What happens once it's "under control"? Do we continue lockdowns and lifestyle restrictions as they exist today? I have yet to see any country with reasonable conditions to end their lockdowns. Under what conditions will the lockdowns and lifestyle changes end? The definition of "under control" seems to be ever changing.
- ganoushoreilly 6y agoAlso, i've not actually seen anyone not wearing a mask in Public. I understand there are parties and events, but every store i've been in (in the south at that) has had masks on. I think it's just a fluff piece.
- Tagbert 6y agoIt really depends on where you are. There are areas where people gather and mask wearing is spotty or non-existent. Our neighbors recently had a large party with lots of guest because it was their son’s 10th birthday and they thought he deserved a big celebration. Only a few of the people wore masks. I also drove past a group of people outside a church this past weekend and only a few were wearing masks.

- Tagbert 6y agoThere seems to be a struggle within the CDC right now between the scientists and the politicians over which group controls the organizations message.
