WHO’s current and CDC’s now lapsed advice rose from a scarcity of masks that should be saved for caregivers. This is eminently reasonable: Proper medical masks must be preserved to protect those brave people caring for Covid-19 patients.

Allowing anyone to wander uncovered during this pandemic is making all our public spaces virus free-fire zones. CDC now suggests everyone wear a face covering in public if they cannot maintain social distance.
