Not everyone has a surgical mask but everyone has fabric at home. If they can’t sew their own mask they can at least improvise a bandana.
Experts know best what's best for you.

However, at the start of all this, I think they were telling people who were sick to wear a mask when coming in to seek help (and I don't think it had to be N95).
Why don't they publish directions for a mask people could make at home and wear whenever they went out, not to protect themselves, but to protect everyone else. If we just assumed everyone might be sick (since it takes 2 weeks to show symptoms), wouldn't wearing masks reduce transmission?
Yes it would.

Personally, I am not interested in anything the Communists want to say.

You could say this about every day living, after we are long past the Coronavirus outbreak. Will we be like Asian countries and all Americans are walking around with masks on?
Huh? This mask wearing is only necessary when there’s a deadly pandemic going on with lots of asymptomatic spreaders.
LOL.
CHUMP TRUMP has been told by CDC that any facemask will work. Ha ha! Chinese CDC had already told us that many months ago.

Wearing a mask helps me remember to keep my hands away from my face. And yes, I managed to make my own mask. I'll boil it in water on the stove.

People who are sick should be home, Not walking around with a mask.
As has been said, if you’re not used to wearing a mask, you’re more likely to fiddle with it with dirty hands, touch your face, etc. A great hole in infection control is when people remove their PPE.
As far as hospitals rationing N95 masks - they are not something that most health care workers oiled use routinely to start with. The only nurses who *should* be using those masks is those who are dealing with COVID or other patients under droplet / respiratory precautions. Some nurses would almost never need them, like those routinely working on a surgical floor.
People who are most contagious don’t know they have COVID. Remember with this you are most contagious before you have symptoms. That’s why it spreads so fast and easily. It’s the people feeling well who are actually unknowingly ill and spreading the virus.

Exactly. All the money and greed in this country. All that “intellect” everyone is always bragging about and humanity in our country comes down to this ten year old and the grocery workers and nurses and doctors and people like them.
