“In Hong Kong they learned social distancing from SARS which was tougher to get, but it would kill you.”

They also learned the importance of having face masks available...something that, I guess, was too complex for the CDC to understand.

I understand that is the reason for the low transmission in South Korea and Japan, people go in public wearing masks.

Not really the CDC’s purview to take care of masks.

Each hospital is supposed to have 28 days in surplus at all times.

The state’s Emergency Preparedness group is supposed to have a back up supply.

The CDC is the fire tower. They aren’t the fire department.
