In reply to Mask Sanitizer Vending Machines in Poland

They lied to a lot of us worldwide about the utility of masks at first because the experts knew there weren't enough of them.

And if we are honest with ourselves, that is what public health experts are charged to do in a pandemic situation: ration according to what they guess will support the best outcome. They were trying to make sure health care providers got them first.

this is why the government might recommend something that stops short of full face masks

for example wearing scarves or bandanas or rudimentary masks....and only on public transport and in shops https://t.co/IHZ3XSSBW9

The whole principle includes that one might have to sacrifice some of the plebes for the greater good.

Supports the nostrum: knowledge is power.

Also supports lot of conspiracy theorizing.

Did you see my earlier thread on masks? The second story there, in the first comment, is related to your point. The postal delivery of masks to every citizen in Taiwan: that's one heckuva job by the health ministry there. Very few are managing at that level.
