Well, for one, we don't have the supply...so I hear. Also, what kind of a tone would this set on society? I also hear that Chinese restaurants are suffering now already.
This virus wouldn't stop me from going to a Chinese restaurants. But lack of money is.

Well, from my experience, this kind of behavior tends to set people on edge and can create divisiveness.
Please. I've seen people wearing mask ,way before the coronavirus even started.

I read that the masks are really only effective at protecting other people from the wearer's germs, so they are most effective when one who is sick wears one.

They're hardly complete protection, but even surgical masks do seem to give some protection. One issue is that, when supplies of protective equipment are limited, priority should be given to health care workers. Governments really should have been stockpiling stuff like this for that purpose.

Governments probably ARE stockpiling these, sfs. But don't forget the usual good stuff. Handwashing goes a long way. So does isolation when sick and avoiding crowds as much as possible. Support your body through eating nutrient dense foods where you have the choice. Trust in the Lord and do good.

So everyone should wear them otherwise its a huge social stigma.

Yes ,A quarantine suit is a better idea.

Trump misidentified the first US coronavirus fatality, calling the male victim a ‘wonderful woman.'


Smh.
Not only Trump but many news outlets. Smh. Been watching several outlets all day.

The news outlets definitely shouldn't have just trusted that what Trump said was correct bc, I mean, he's Trump. He had direct access to the right information. News media then report on what has been presented to them.
How do you know they got it from Trump? It was all over the television from different news channels and I checked them all. This was reported before the Trump news conference today. Yes he has intel/inside info but did he use it? Everything I saw before was saying it was a female who had died.

Thanks for posting the story. I had heard about the death, but later on in the article was this section, which really explains how these clusters can take off:

Washington State health officials also announced two cases of people tied to a nursing facility near Seattle and said more than 50 people in the facility had begun to show symptoms, a possible sign of an outbreak among a particularly vulnerable population.

A health-care worker and a resident at the facility, Life Care Center of Kirkland, had both tested positive for the virus. There are 288 staff and residents at the facility.

I will put some of the highlights in the main SARS-COV-2 thread.

Trump is only pretending to care. Because he got heat, from some of his fan base.

Who knows? I’m not a fan of his either. All politicians are smarmy imo. I’ll probably go with ASP again. What disturbs me is seeing the public so divided by all this. It’s turned into a cult. Unification of the people seems to be off the table.
