These are the same people who think we can't use hand sanitizer effectively so they're compelled to push hand washing as the far superior choice.
Which seems to rest on the premise that people who don't use enough Purel or let it dry are going to nonetheless properly start washing our hands for a full 30 seconds with hot soapy water whilst following that kama sutra of hand washing diagram

Was flipping channels yesterday and a home shopping show in Texas is selling them. 5 for 7.99. I don’t have any financial interest in the company. Just passing it along for anyone that wants some before a run on masks happens. 1-877-899-0099.
Edit: I don’t take any responsibility for this product...haha

I think when all is said and done, if an impartial report is ever done (which is probably kind of doubtful), we'll see that a lot of balls were dropped.
Part of it is just in the nature of dealing with something that hasn't been seen in a long time. Part of it is politics from all the domestic sides and from a lot of foreign players. Part of it will probably just be people making a decision which turns out in hindsight to be wrong.
The one that could end up being the ventilators if they run way short on them. Was there ever a way to ramp up production that would have alleviated that? Are they even being produced at increased capacity now?
Is the US the only country where the fricktards on both side of the political isle are still playing politics with this thing? Because I really don't see the news reports of other countries political parties playing the same old games during all of this.

Someone said the other day that transmission is very low airborne and that it’s mostly contaminated surfaces is where the virus likely lives

Unlike NIOSH-approved N95s, facemasks are loose-fitting and provide only barrier protection against droplets, including large respiratory particles. No fit testing or seal check is necessary with facemasks. Most facemasks do not effectively filter small particles from the air and do not prevent leakage around the edge of the mask when the user inhales.
The role of facemasks is for patient source control, to prevent contamination of the surrounding area when a person coughs or sneezes.? Patients with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 should wear a facemask until they are isolated in a hospital or at home. The patient does not need to wear a facemask while isolated.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) does not recommend that people who are well wear a face mask to protect themselves from respiratory diseases, including coronavirus (COVID-19).
There's more out there.

There’s a reason all the Asians do it.
Yeah, they are still wearing them from their last big scare.
Heck, it might be a good time to put together a start up for custom masks. Even after things calm down, might still be a market for it.
My first two masks would be a standard type surgical looking mask, but with an LSU motif (but not Toonces), and an old school bird plague mask:

That means it helps but we don’t have enough to recommend for everyone

Ventilators are an entirely different animal. It could be months before the first ones are ready.
Looks like Ford and GE plan to have 1500 ventilators ready by the end of April

It might be a bit of a blessing that this thing seems to be rolling along slowly from one area to the next.

This is a stupid idea. Waste of masks. Have you seen the fricking idiots that walk around with their nose hanging out or otherwise have no idea how to wear it?

That dude in Tennessee bout to sue somebody after getting threatened to be out in jail for buying masks.
Ridiculous.
This is why I have my own storage facility with survival gear. I thought about breaking out the hazmat suit but didn't want to have to wash it.
