@TuckerCarlson is 100% correct regarding masks.
Initially, according to #CDC, only med staff & the sick shld wear them. It is not necessary for healthy ppl.

But...med pros R healthy so they don't need 2 wear masks, right? Well, they R treating sick ppl. But...they ARE healthy.

But no one else comes in contact with #Covid19 carriers, asymptomatic or not? 🤨

And, masks DON'T serve as a barrier, right? Oh...quarantining self/isolating at home is the only barrier (other than ample hygiene) to #Covid19? But for essential workers et al who go out...🤔

So...#CDC
1) is it accurate that masks are unnecessary by healthy people NOT interacting with #Covid19 carriers, asymptomatic or not

2) there was an ACTUAL shortage of masks, thus it IS important to provide them for the sick and med pros- Got it

3) there was a MANUFACTURED shortage of masks, still making it important to provide them for the sick & med pros- Got it. ok.

4) #Covid19 is in great part a horrible strain of flu... falls the vulnerable & others unsuspecting, a pandemic that is being overplayed?(don't think so)

Did this 'don't wear a mask with it's guilt-tripping U R being foolish & selfish advice' coming from #CDC underscore a deadly lapse in these public healthcare systems? (always watch for the guilt-trip)

Did this lapse of protective barrier exacerbate the #Covid19 contagion?

The oversights & negligence left from prior admins along with the opaqueness coming from #China & it's #Who cohorts was a ticking... alarm clock...

The state & local governments sure R scrambling.
