I also stand by my second post in your thread, that you didn't seem to have a reaction to, too: Wrap every scarf/shirt/bandana/underwear round your head when you leave the house...go off and thank you for trying. But here are the bald-ass facts Our nation's leadership f#cked us in not keeping our emergency stockpiles full and the pandemic taskforce intact Our nation's leadership f#cked us in inadequately preparing and warning us about what would inevitably happen and tools needed survive this Our nation's leadership is STILL f#cking up not utilizing and mobilizing industries, funds, laws, departments, and resources that were ALL established to keep us safe and from being in this situation I'm trying to understand who this touchdown dance of a thread is for? We are so f#cking far behind this 8 ball, that the concerns that I, other posters and many Drs had around the mask debate--the efficacy of masks worn by laypeople, the inadequacy of improperly worn mask, the fact that people will still buy/hoard/use these precious medical masks instead of making their own, the time it takes to change the culture of 330 million stubborn independent Americans (including, by your own evidence, Tennessee) to do the right thing--are still very much present. ON HOARDING What you see in your town is not the whole story. We healthcare 6-8 dust masks in my stores health aisle. Nothing has been there since New Years. Just like with people cashing out stocks as soon as there was word of a virus coming, people started buying up for resale WEEKS ago. *3/14/20 Colvin Bros of TENNESEE, bought out 17,700 bottles of hand sanitizer from regional stores to price gouge online https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/14/technology/coronavirus-purell-wipes-amazon-sellers.html?action=click&module=RelatedLinks&pgtype=Article *4/2/20 A hoarder/black marketers' stockpile of nearly 1 MILLION MEDICAL SUPPLIES (including 192,000 N95 respirators, 130,000 surgical masks, nearly 600,000 medical-grade gloves, and surgical gowns, disinfectant towels, particulate filters, hand sanitizer and spray disinfectant) will go to local health workers https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/02/nyregion/brooklyn-coronavirus-price-gouging.html?searchResultPosition=22 If your TN stores are still SO full of masks, than your government is ****ing up. Because this storm WILL roll across EVERY state and mess you up just like the coastal cities. You need to take the energy in this thread and call up your local govmt. Cuz at this point, discreetly buying up all those masks for the state's cache of supplies would not be a bad idea. And there it is Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floppy 7,951 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 This thread is iconic....

I need to go grocery shopping soon but I am more afraid of being judged by people for having a mask that is supposed to be used for medical professionals. Even tho he’s had them here at home. (Not a lot) Yeah that’s the problem. The stigma for the masks is terible. That’s bad when you have the right equipment to protect your health but you can’t use it. I just want people to know that the shortage of mask is not because of hoarding but more because of malfunctioned planning. Accusing people who has the masks now is toxic and counter-effective in this situation. 😭 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
freebit 6,264 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 It was so irresponsible of WHO and CDC to say otherwise at first. Shady AF. They could have been real and recommended we make our own. I'm honestly fed up, and this is really bringing home what scary times we live in that we have organizations like this breaking our trust and lying to us initially. It was enough that we couldn't trust our elected officials. Ugh. Anyway, posting this for anyone who hasn't seen it yet and wants to make their own (and has no sewing skills to speak of like me): Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could overcome this altogether P/s: This also a worth-reading article on how our perception of pandemics change over the last 100 years. https://edition.cnn.com/2020/04/03/americas/flu-america-1918-masks-intl-hnk/index.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
