Reading the WP story on how the feds considered sending everyone masks in the mail & scrapped it, I am reminded of a couple things... one is the reporting of @etammykim, which my students are reading this week in the #viralunderclass washingtonpost.com/us-policy/2020…
As @etammykim wrote in the NYT, South Korea took a very different approach than the US —a national approach to getting ppl masks. So it’s interesting to learn the US actually considered but abandoned something similar nytimes.com/2020/04/01/opi…
Also, I am reminded of how when I was a kid, everyone got a mailer in the US and my parents talking to me about ours when it came. We have precedent in SK & in US history of how the USPS could have been activated w COVID—but our current govt failed
