The experts knew all along that any face covering would mitigate this virus but held that information from the American people. Needless to say, I'm very disappointed in that decision to deceive Americans. IMHO, it was too late when we were recommended to wear face coverings (masks) and they pleaded with us to not purchase N95 masks because those masks were to be saved for the front line workers. Tasked with wearing face covering, Americans got to work. Home made masks were being made as if people were responding to a war effort. Mask instructional videos were flooding YouTube. I'll bet our CV task force and the CDC recommended face covering much earlier in this pandemic. We could have mitigated this virus much earlier and saved a bunch of lives.
Masks do help to slow the spread of this virus. Please pay attention to current recommendations. Thanks.
