There was a rather racist article in the Lancet the other day. According to the article, it’s racist for westerners not to wear masks because it’s not polite (subservient) to Asians (Chinese) who do. (of course, Asians wear masks because of pollution, not really to prevent others from becoming sick)

Since that article, tho, the new topic is to wear or not to wear.

But what’s pretty funny is, a) there are no masks for Americans to wear anyway, since all supplies are going to hospitals, who don’t have enough and, b) we’re all in quarantine in our homes and nobody’s going out in public anyway!

So why are we even having this conversation about masks at all right now, other than it’s worryfluff material for the MSM?

With the Taiwanese, South Korean, Japanese and Czech examples with everyone wearing masks in public “flattening the curve.”

And particularly the Czechs are using home made DIY masks to do it, the CDC has a very major credibility problem, for which see:
