Some in US lost their minds. Even wearing a face mask is a political statement now. This is ridiculous. Because for people like him thousands died. Same story in Brazil too. Unbelievable.

Apparently someone with a really bad wettish cough or sneeze , can blow the germs out over twice that distance.
Why is it so hard for some people to understand that, during this coronavirus pandemic, whenever we go out of our house, just wear the dang mask! Ideally, when masks are easily available, and everyone can afford it, just wear them when outside.
The 6 feet so-called "social distancing" is comical. If someone infected sneezes at you from six feet away, you would probably be within range. And that's when a mask will come in handy. Both for the person doing the sneezing and the one at the receiving end.
And the ridiculous images of coffee shops patrons wearing "social-distancing" hats where prongs jutting out at the top are meant to indicate the neccessary distancing? Well, they look like they're just sitting at the pre-COVID, regular distance apart!
During the day, there will be situations where we would be in some confined, indoor spaces, like inside of lifts. It's very hard to avoid instances like these.
And of all the other pre-cautions like wiping every grocery with disinfectant, wearing of mask is just a low hanging fruit, with the minimal fuss, but cutting down the infection percentages the most. Just shows that some people isn't taking the virus as seriously as they should.

Exactly. This cannot be emphasized enough. Deceitful alternative facts my ass while they go around stealing all the face mask around the world.

I remember Fauci himself advised against using face mask unless if you have symptoms which really surprise me. It is not effective and necessary was what he was saying.
Not what he was saying back in Feb and March.

I remember the gist of what the US authorities were saying regarding masks was that we should only wear masks if we're showing symptoms, so as to prevent spreading to others. But the problem is, Covid-19 has a few days to two weeks of incubation period where we wouldn't be showing any symptoms at all, and this was already common knowledge back in Feb/Mar.
Even back then, this directive sounded pretty retarded.

Yes, I think I remembered it as well, in fact, someone from this forum also suggested as much, saying that wearing mask would not completely eliminate the possibility of contracting the virus.
I don't think anyone of us were saying that masks would give us complete safety, but this is a game of percentages, isn't it? And multiply this by having everyone wear one in public, when available and affordable. That's the difference between the pandemic in most East & Southeast Asian countries and the west.
In other words, Fauci is admiting that even the most advanced democracy in the world, where citizens are supposed to be able to make the correct decisions, cannot be trusted upon, and had to be lied to. Not just withhold information, but lied to.
