Well now they are sitting there with egg on their faces because the Asian countries that are achieving a win against this virus told the US they were doing it all wrong and that people do need mask to keep from spreading it. I've said that from the beginning, things just weren't adding up and I got attacked on blogs from people saying they don't work for the general population but the health care workers need them to keep from getting sick. I told them they should listen to themselves talk, they work for one group of people but not the other. It's not that everybody needs n95 mask, those mask they give people who go to the hospital sick so they don't spread their colds all over the lobby while waiting would have slowed the spread. In Asian countries they sell those packed in boxes similar to how we pack and sell dryer sheets. Needless to say they didn't get my n95 masks, mine were industrial not medical grade. (made in a sterile environment) A couple weeks after they had people donate their mask the hospitals told them they couldn't use them because they weren't medical grade....which is exactly what I told my kid as to why I wasn't donating mine, I told him it wouldn't matter as I doubt the hospitals are going to let them be carrying stuff in from places they don't know where they've been. Tonight on Tucker Carlson come to find out the government donated millions of mask to other countries, mostly third world, which I guess is understandable to a degree to minimize the spread and protect health care workers, that just goes to show you though that if you listen in between the lines to be skeptical, very, very, skeptical to how the government sells things to you, if you are good at it you can stay one step ahead of them. Just like if people take these government checks out and spend them it will be the cause of the second wave they keep talking about. They've bought time getting the major cities stocked up and now they will get everyone mingling together to set up the second wave of set ups....I told my kids don't you go near a store to spend that money or you'll be a stat on the second wave list. I fully understand why they have to roll it out like this to keep everything from colliding at once but it doesn't mean I have to jump into the fray of it all, as usual I'd just prefer to be the odd ball I always am and not go with the flow....you know what I mean....
