Điều không thể tha thứ

đối với CDC (Trung tâm Kiểm soát và phòng ngừa dịch bệnh Mỹ) là để thiếu khẩu trang,

2. Absence of masks. As Americans, we look at masks from a “what will it do for me?” perspective. Maybe if I wear a mask and I’m around infected people who don’t wear masks, I won’t improve my chances much. But Asians look at it from more of a social perspective. If I wear a mask and I am unknowingly infected, it seems likely that I greatly reduce my chance of infecting other people. So if everybody wears a mask, my thinking is that we can mingle in public and hold the spread rate down. Not to zero, but enough so that we don’t need to cripple the economy with lockdowns.

When I see countries that are a lot closer to China with lower case loads and deaths, and I see lots of masks in use, that makes me think that masks might be sufficient. At least in some parts of the country.

Where is the CDC on this? On the one hand, they tell us that masks won’t work. On the other hand, they tell us that masks are precious and they must be reserved for front-line health care providers.

We should have had a gigantic strategic mask reserve (dự trữ lớn mang tính chiến lược đối với khẩu trang) before this crisis started. No, I never thought of that before. But it should have occurred to the CDC. As the saying goes, You Had One Job.
