It's the same Surgeon General who said that this is the week America was getting its shit pushed in over this, and it's just not happening. It's Friday already, but I'm sure he'd say the next two days will kill 6 gorillion Americans a second.

It was obama lol
Bush ordered masks to be added to stockpiles, then they used 100 million masks in 2009 and obama never replaced them
>The George W. Bush administration published the National Strategy for Pandemic Influenza plan in 2005, which called on the federal government to distribute medical supplies from the Strategic National Stockpile governed by the Health and Human Services Department in the event of an outbreak.
>In 2009, the H1N1 outbreak hit the United States, leading to 274,304 hospitalizations, 12,469 deaths, and a depletion of N95 respirator masks.
>A federally backed task force and a safety equipment organization both recommended to the Obama administration that the stockpile be replenished with the 100 million masks used after the H1N1 outbreak.

They don't prevent getting sick, they prevent spreading the sickness further. A doctor won't be of much use if he infects everyone he treats with corona.

They don't wear them for their own protection, it's foe the protection of the patients. Cheap paper/cloth mask are a one way street meant to catch aerosolized saliva/mucus from the person wearing it.

What a goddamn shitstorm of contradicting information and flurries of accusations of stupidity

Yes they do you fucking moronic shill. That's why the doctors want them so badly so that THEY DON'T CATCH the virus. Jesus Christ.

No they don't you fucking schizo retard. Not only does a surgical mask not seal around your face, it doesn't protect your eyes. Do you know how many people besides me I see on the street wearing goggles on the eyes? ZERO.
