... so that health care workers had more masks to... stay... safe. Wait a minute - that means masks ARE for healthy people, too. So, healthy people start wearing masks, but then the get stigmatized as "being sick" - the kiss of death in food service.

Messaging. Bungled.

This country should've ramped up mask production BEFORE the problem was on our shores, and then required EVERYONE to wear them. This isn't a question of individual liberty, blah blah blah, it's national defense. Or, it would have been if we had leaders.
