If masks and PPE are ineffective against Coronavirus, then why do healthcare providers need it?
The answer is, masks ARE effective against COVID. They just didn't want the public to hoard supply.
It's a cynical move. But completely understandable. And the martyrs of the forum (Looking at Excargodog) will throw their hands up and exclaim, "I'll never trust the gobmen't again!" like he's a wounded dog.
Spare us the fake outrage.

Not outraged at all, simply critiquing what was a bad decision. Preventive Medicine measures depend upon the trust and cooperation of the great unwashed masses because there will NEVER BE ENOUGH LAW ENFORCEMENT to compel the obedience of every person out there. That saying, you need the credibility to have all those people trust you and believe what you are saying is true for the officials to do their jobs effectively. I have stated as a policy position that I do believe that trust was too important to start off lying to people - which was clearly done. The purpose of that is for the surgeon general, the CDC, and the ‘gobmen’t’ (as you call them) to retain the credibility to do their jobs effectively.
you, on the other hand, justified their actions because there had just been a run on toilet paper at Costco, (perhaps the very definition of butt-hurt).
I stand by my assertion.
in the meantime, numbers of cases are going up but thus far numbers of deaths seem to be continuing down. Let’s hope the latter at least continues.
