What is laughable is that the CDC has come to this revelation now.
NYC is the frontline. Stepping out of the house in NYC is just as dangerous as ANY hospital, clinic, ER. A few weeks ago NYers were packed into subway cars. Buses. Streets during rush hour. Restaurants at lunch. Just keeping calm and washing their hands.
I mean, I get it. I don't fault the CDC for lying to the American people for a month to protect the supply of masks for healthcare workers. I understand. There are hoarders. Stockpilers. Price gougers. The US is a huge vast country with a lot of people. There was not enough masks to go around. I see why the CDC had to lie to protect the supply. And now that the masks are more readily available the CDC is changing their stance and aligning their recommendations with,,, ohhh I don't know, the rest of the world.
