Yup.
Because there's some belief that had we just told everyone to wear masks suddenly said masks would materialize.
But the bottom line is that had that happened, we'd ultimately still have shortages in the general population and the spread would be nominally smaller. Meanwhile you're now making medical supply issues exponentially worse, dropout rates from sick healthcare providers skyrocket even faster, your 'capacity line' drops precipitously and truly all hell breaks loose.
It was the right thing to do. Now the right thing to do is carve through all this !@#$ing bureaucratic garbage and get those supplies out to those healthcare providers in high risk, high need areas.
