Some public officials need to stand up in public and say:
“We lied to you about the safety and effectiveness of N95 masks. They offer significant protection for you and those around you. We didn’t have enough for our health care workers. That is why we lied. We made a stupid mistake. We should have told you the truth. That lying was a betrayal of the public trust. Today I am here to admit we were wrong, and I fully understand why you don’t believe anything we say.”

They found a fireman in NJ with the virus and they shut the firehouse down. Other units are covering, but....
““We lied to you about the safety and effectiveness of N95 masks. They offer significant protection for you and those around you. We didn’t have enough for our health care workers.

It may go the other way. If you go to the grocery store wearing a mask you are reported and they come to take your stash.
These numbers are getting crazy:
4,812 new cases in New York State, including 2,832 new cases in New York City
15,168 total cases in New York State, 9,045 in NYC

Don’t let it get you down. I talk to myself all the time :)
Just so you know your input is valuable and appreciated.
They may either ban them (when there are not enough) or go full China and require them (when there are enough). ;-)
LOL...I don’t think they’ll ever admit that.
At least WE know.

Spring Break—nobody could ever have known this would happen...:-( :
University of Tampa has been notified that five UT students, traveling together and with other UT students during Spring Break, have tested positive for COVID-19.

I’d be worried wearing one now just because of how some people might act. Angry. Not violence, but yelling, making their point, etc. Then you’ve got a contact with people you wouldn’t have had.
Belgium’s lockdown to last at least eight more weeks: health minister

Belgium—following “the plan”.
It would be reasonable to expect other Western European and US hot spots to follow it as well.
Buster—I have been in hibernation since Tuesday but I expect to venture out at some point this week.
But—I agree. I would not want to call attention to myself.
I will do the coughing thing as my defense...
An explanation of the low Russia numbers:
Russia doctors say government is covering up Corona virus deaths classifying them as simple pneumonia in order to keep the numbers down.

Seriously??? Texas has 254 counties, and I’m betting that most of them still don’t have a single known case yet.
“But—I agree. I would not want to call attention to myself.”
I think it will get more acceptable. We are kind of in a strange phase right now.
Like with my decision to go back to work. I think it will actually be easier for me to avoid infection once things get worse and people start taking things more seriously, even though there will be more infected people out there.
