You and I have been talking about the need for masks for weeks now.
I think the only reason that this guidance was not issued before is that there is simply not enough masks in the US.
The Air Bridge from Asia is now bringing in more masks. Not that I trust these masks - I’m glad I have my own.
I suspect the “adjusted” mask guidance for next week will be EVERYONE MUST WEAR MASKS!
If you don’t wear a mask what the hell are they going to do to you, let them TRY!!!
Ecuador: Bodies of coronavirus victims are on streets

In Guayaquil, ground zero for the spread of COVID-19 in Ecuador, dead bodies have been piling up on the streets, in hospitals and inside houses.
According to official records, 70% of the country’s cases are located in the city of Guayaquil, where 2,243 of the 3,163 cases nationwide have been registered.
The mayor of Guayaquil, Cynthia Viteri, requested on Thursday that the Ecuadorian government allow the municipality she leads to remove the bodies of those who died from the COVID-19 disease or other circumstances, as a result of the “alarming situation” the coastal city is going through due to the coronavirus outbreak.
“In view of the alarming situation caused by the removal of fatal victims led by the Joint Task Force appointed by the Government, we ask the competent authorities to authorize that we remove the bodies that remain in the houses,” reads a message on the Twitter account of the local leader.

That’s what we’ve been talking about, here...the possibility that they’ve PURPOSELY delayed these measures...especially masks...due to shortages in the stockpile.
