prove me wrong.

If The President would have gotten on the dais and said that the general public needs to wear cloth masks and to save the manufactured N-95 and surgical masks for public health, then I belive the nation would have been quite fine with that. \

Yes, there was a shortage, we all knew that. But saying masks help me and not you was the silliest thing uttered in all of this. If they were to come clean today, then I think still...all will be forgiven.

I humbly disagree. You and I and any reasonably public-spirited individual with functioning brain cells would have been fine with that. The visigoths who looted all the toilet paper from stores would not have been.

Much of what we are seeing is a psy-op intended to keep the least civilized in our society in line IMHO.
