Excerpt: Orders have been canceled due to CDC stockpiling

Advice can change, but as of now, there’s no guidance telling Americans to wear face masks, either the basic surgical face masks or the N95 respirators that health care workers wear to treat infectious diseases.

This hasn’t stopped Americans from stockpiling both types anyway.

David Bowman of Phoenix, Arizona, told CNN he’d ordered three respirator masks, which cost him just under $13 each, from Vitality Medical. The medical supply company guaranteed his order would arrive by March 7 at the latest.

But then it was back-ordered until May 29. The notice Vitality Medical sent him said that the CDC had “allocated with our warehouse the item [he] ordered.”

Yeah man. All you freepers who say this is over blown hype, send your N95 masks to your local police, fireman and hospital.

“ Advice can change, but as of now, there’s no guidance telling Americans to wear face masks, either the basic surgical face masks or the N95 respirators that health care workers wear to treat infectious diseases.”

We don’t have nearly enough masks for the healthcare workers alone, much less citizens. That’s why they discourage and ridicule us using them. If the healthcare workers don’t have them, they won’t go to work.
