DP. No, a single nationwide stay at home order wouldn't have made sense. A strong trustworthy CDC could have recommended tiered closures, but they didn't.

A federal mask mandate any day between March and today could have and would have saved lives. Telling people not to wear a mask is directly the fault of our federal government and is singularly responsible for so much of this pandemic in this country. [/quote]

Yes - like I said plenty of blame to go around...CDC dropped the ball.

I agree, a federal mask mandate would have been great....but, there were no masks to be found for many folks.  My DD waited in line for 5 hours (no exaggeration!) just to get material for DIY masks. I personally would not have waited. 
When I went to order masks in March/April most places were sold out or had delivery dates of May/June....and, I still think many states/people would have balked at the mask mandate even had it been issued in March/April.

When going into the office one day, my receptionist didn't have a mask on - (my company had bought masks but delivery was delayed) - I asked her about it and she simply stated she didn't have one and didn't do online shopping via ebay (which is the only way I was able to get masks).  I gave her an extra one I had bought.  So how would a mask mandate have worked when early on even our first responders were running out of masks. How would it have been enforced?

There is no federal mask mandate today, July 22.  Still no mask mandate.[/quote]
