If you are NOT sick: You do not need to wear a facemask unless you are caring for someone who is sick (and they are not able to wear a facemask). Facemasks may be in short supply and they should be saved for caregivers
Flatten the curve. The curve is currently on a downward track, and rather than just one state, itās across the country. Infection rates spiked to 75,000per day and are now down at 45,000. End of March, it was around 30,000. Thatās about as flat as the curve is going to get. Hopefully, it starts to taper off over the next couple of weeks.
This is not accurate at all.
Have countries flattened the curve? Daily confirmed new COVID-19 cases for the most affected countries over time.
I agree, and yet so many acted as though they trusted Trumpās COVID proclamations over anyone elseās.
Well, Iām just a regular person and I didnāt.
If I am a regular person then Iād imagine there are many more out there like me.
If anyone looks to a politician be it the President, the Governor or their local officials for answers then so be it.
Someone has to take the blame for lack of personal responsibility, right?

I remember when I was a kid it was the next ice age.
Donāt eat eggs. Do eat eggs.
Meat is bad. No, meat is good.
The list goes on and on.
I think as you get older you realize no one really knows what the hell they are talking about.
My philosophy? Did it come from Godās green earth? Then it is good. However, everything in moderation.
Yes, thanks for posting that CDC missive from late March again. When you post it next, please also post when the CDC began recommending everyone in public wear a mask. I believe it was the beginning of April but will need to confirm.

If they didnāt know what they were talking about in March then why trust they know what they are talking about in August?

April, not August.
So if the CDC changed its recommendation in the span of two weeks, your instinct is to think āWell they donāt know what they are talking about so I am going with the first recommendation?ā

You do seem to have been conflating the two (N95s vs cloth masks) ever s8nce weāve talked about this.
WuWei:Cloth face coverings. One shot.

No, Iām not. You canāt defend this, you might as well stop trying.
Blackwolf: DMK:Honestly, if you Ā© have to look to a politician for guidance then so be it.

Why did you link to an archived page? Why not look at the current advice. It might differ it might not.
Just curious why you chose an archived page,
No, Iām not.
Have you been wearing a cloth mask in public since April?
Yes, like I said, trending down just like your link says. And yes, with it now across the whole country, that is a flattened curve. Interestingly, deaths are still relatively flat a month from the beginning of our current spike, a trend I also hope continues.
WuWei:No, Iām not.

I was wearing one in March when I couldnāt social distance. I know what the word ārespiratoryā means.

See, this is why we shouldnāt be testing. If we cut the testing in half the number of cases would be cut in half.
I mean really, its like if we didnāt test for pregnancy there wouldnāt be any unwanted pregnancies.
Duh.
