I posted most of this comment on Politico.
Why the hell did NO ONE at the beginning talk about wearing masks for EVERYONE who had one? Other countries did that and some of them are among the most successful at responding to COVID-19. Why were we only worrying about medical people getting them? Why weren't we keeping people from getting sick in the first place by preventing others from spreading it by having everyone wear SOMETHING, ideally the same kind of mask that doctors wear!
People act like we're the Brits in WWII and all we have to do is do the COVID-19 equivelent of going into a bomb shelter- social-distance and stay at home for a brief period of time. We will have to social distance and wear masks and test, test, test, for a long time. (COVID-19 isn't becoming less communicable and the curve is flattening because of social distancing, not because COVID-19 is going away)
WHY DIDN'T WE WEAR MASKS?
Trump didn't like the election year optics of Americans wearing masks, and is an idiot and a racist (see below).
That applies to a lot of others.
The Dems who weren't worried about election-year optics? They're idiots and kind of racists in this case- they were thinking, "ASIANS wear masks, and we're not Asians. We'd look silly, like Asians look silly when they wear masks."
