Hmm. Why the special emphasis on Face Masks?

Edit. No one should waste their time on this big messy thread. I read Trump's "Face Masks" as full shield face masks, for whatever weird reason, and not N95 masks, and such things. I'm an idiot.

Apologies.

Anyone who says “the science is in” or “end of story”is a retard and not worth listening to.

Masks work to stop the spread. Paper stops you from spreading. N95 used by all medical staff for a reason. I use a glass full face respirator. . Good for you "Bud"?

This doesn't explain why Trump is calling on states to gear up on face masks. I have no idea what you're saying or why you're saying it. It's just weirdness, bud.

I work for a specialty pharmacy. We had 2 people test positive so far. One was asymptomatic, decided to get tested as she recently came back from New Jersey. She self quarantined 2 weeks ago and notified us the moment the test came back positive. We had the building she worked in sanitized. It's been 2 weeks since and nobody else tested positive.

The other was my boss but he was out of the office from before the on set of symptoms (he was on vacation). He sits right next door to me, nobody in our building got infected. Now we are all working from home out of precaution, due to the shelter in place order.

Estimates peg this disease at a 25%-30% infection rate. Nowhere near the stupid fucking '60-80%' that was being touted by the media. That would make it more contagious than measles

So contagious that the CDC is listing all diagnoses as COVID even if they are not. Calling BS

He can't possibly be talking about face masking the entire population. They must have some data about face masks protecting hospital personnel, or something of the sort.

The way I am reading it hes saying that hes about to announce opening things up and when he does they need to be prepared. As in giving them a couple weeks head start not just announcing tomorrow that were open for business instead he's making it clear ahead of time that something is going to happen and its going to be sooner rather than later. Besides the point of letting the states know, it will also have an effect on the stock market/economy as its giving everyone an update that its coming and will improve confidence.
