We're adding preventative measures to prepare for ending shutdowns and re-opening


So when a doctor is performing surgery on you, do they wait until they're about to sew you back up to put on all PPE? That's the point I'm trying to make. I guess better late than never with the masks, right?

Because you know, when we were at the apex and the highest spike, the notion was "masks are not available right now, but if you have one wear it". Now, that we're on the downward trend the notion is, "you're a mouth breathing idiot if you don't have a mask on!"

Just seems kind of backwards to me. I don't know, maybe LUNCHBOX and Salmon are right. Maybe I'm an idiot for thinking that way?

Well at the time we were all supposed to be shut in our houses and not going anywhere, so masks wouldn't do as much, and they wanted to prevent a run on N95 masks which were already in short supply. I do get your point and think I agree somewhat, but it's really not a hill to die on.

Now that we're re-opening and people will be out and about more freely, masks do more for us as a preventative measure as we try to prevent the rapid spread we had initially.
