| Topic | So why did the medical community bungle mask advice so badly? |
| Yesmar_ 07/08/20 12:56:40 AM #11: | I think people also underestimated how widespread the virus already was by the end of Feb., beginning of March. Homemade masks, which is what people would have been using initially, are leaky enough that they are only advisable when the outbreak reaches a certain level, and authorities didn't think the virus was at that level yet. Another mystery is why it took NYC so long to start identifying cases. It seems clear now that their first confirmed case was identified much later in the outbreak timeline than in other areas. IIRC, Singapore did not encourage masks at first, and they seemed to be doing well initially , so that might have misled some people as well. --- Congrats on Advokaiser for winning the 2018 Guru Contest!
