...Because they already had them before this crisis. Not only did the average person already wear them-- and ostensibly, they'd have a box of them at home-- it was more heavily stocked because it was part of their cultures to wear masks.

Yeah, perfect thread for it.

N95 shortage is a whole different story. Those protect the wearer. Surgical masks protect the wearer to some degree - but mostly protect others from he wearer (your breath droplets get stuck in the mask instead of settling on things - doesn't have to be perfect but even knocking down asymptomatic spread 75% is huge).
I get why the US doesn't want to push for masks yet because everyone will just try to hoard all the N95 masks. But they need to tell everyone to cover their face in public. |

2nd case has been identified at my wife's work. She outed herself via Facebook to let people know who may have been in proximity to her. It's actually someone I've met before.
The kicker, I wish I was joking, she's young and over the weekend was volunteering to pick up supplies for anyone that couldn't. She was notified on Monday that she may have been in contact with someone who tested positive and on Tuesday was feeling sluggish and tired with a slight cough. Because she is diabetic she took herself in for a test and was notified within 24 hours that she was positive. Says been at home and says she's already feeling better today. |

Yes, 3M starting upping production in JANUARY...They actually could have gotten them to healthcare workers faster if not for the plaintiff's bar and legislative changes now make this acceptable: https://nypost.com/2020/03/20/3m-dou...irus-outbreak/ Quote:

Yes this is what I've been saying and why we need to require them like other countries are doing, and is largely the culture in Asia during flu season anyway. In Vietnam I guess people mostly wear masks for pollution. But it still works to slow the spread.

Regarding the bigger picture stuff - I’ve read a few unbiased epidemiologists or other experts who say they think China is being pretty truthful for once right now (after their initial attempt at cover up/denial). Seems like unless you’re going to somehow try to cover up massive deaths (like Iran seems to be doing) ultimately lying is only going to delay the inevitable and make it worse. |

The Senators and Kings face-off on March 11 was the last professional sports game we saw for the foreseeable future in the United States. The last time there were no games in the four major sports in the month of April was 1883, per @EliasSports.

Also the culture part is what we need to start working on. Just sell it as temporary, I think that will make the pill easier to swallow. But in reality it may become a normal thing during cold & flu season like it is in Asia. |
