Trust me. Try managing a bunch of union workers. It’s not easy.


Life is literally a calculated risk. Decisions have to be made by facts and nothing else.

In times where millions of people are out of jobs, industries shutting down, people confined to homes for months... You think "not being able to get a mask easily" is a reason to not recommend masks?

The new travel rule even allows for any kind of cover, which literally anyone could do. Wrap a t-shirt around your mouth, voila, you are compliant.

I've heard this argument against masks from the start; it was wrong then, and it is extra wrong now. Czechia proves that a homemade mask campaign is enough; you don't necessarily need tons of surgical masks to be effective.

I do think if it is to be a fully enforceable law (as in you HAVE To wear a mask to be in public) they need to provide citizens with enough masks to go out. This is why they need to work with Taiwan which is the only country now besides China with the capacity to do something like this. Get to them before other countries do! Japan is already working with them, the availability won't be there forever, and Canada will be stuck having to make their own masks or rely on people making their own (which can work but not ideal).
