So it would have lead to a PR problem, rumors and fear.
Beats 2 million deaths.
And please, don’t give me the magical masks excuse. Masks might give additional protection, in no way do they solve the issue. And the ‘if only’ statements of some time ago have clearly been proven false. ‘If only we would have worn the masks corona would have been over’. No it wouldn’t because now it’s ‘if only we had worn three masks on top of each other’, which wouldn’t have been necessary if the first statement was true. It just isn’t. It’s easy blameshifting.

Also Vietnam, Taiwan, Singapore, Atlantic Canada, and China (though you may not trust their numbers). A huge proportion of these deaths were avoidable.
