For at least two months Trump denied and than downplayed the severity of this virus, instead to preparing for it, which now leaves us high and dry, with no mask.
I've wondered about this for 2 weeks. And I wasn't buying it! NOT one person in our 2 grocery stores or drugstores, which we all agree are ESSENTIAL are wearing masks. I think this is shortsighted. I guess the CDC is rethinking it too.
So now the need for 300,000,000 more masks could well be added to those in line WAITING with MEDICAL FACILITIES, MUNICIPALITIES and businesses all around country. Remember those pink pussy hat knitters, find them!!

Talks are still ongoing, an anonymous federal official confirmed to the newspaper. A second official said that the recommendation could help “flatten the curve” of the virus's spread.
The CDC does not currently recommend that healthy people wear masks or coverings over their face, instead recommending that everyone engage in social distancing and stand at least six feet apart.
President Trump, asked Monday at the daily White House briefing if everyone should wear nonmedical masks, told reporters that the option is "certainly something we could discuss” and that “it could be something like that for a limited period of time.”
Former Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Scott Gottlieb recommended the change as the lead author of a pandemic response plan published Sunday by the American Enterprise Institute. The report says that “everyone, including people without symptoms, should be encouraged to wear nonmedical fabric face masks while in public.”
During an interview with CBS’s “Face the Nation” on Sunday, he said people should consider wearing a cotton mask, adding: “We should be putting out guidelines from the CDC on how you can develop a mask on your own.”...

Wow, we have two seriously dopey old broads here from Florida, which is the soonest Floridafan or Loony Central?
If you wear a mask, you will constantly be touching your face to check and adjust it.
Touching your face is the main form of transmission. More than 95% of the time, peopel catch it by touching their face. Don't touch your face.
Comprehend, you reprehensible fearmignering progressive?

Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.
D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.
Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".
