Relient_K 03/30/20 4:02:34 PM #15:	The real reason they said this is because of panic buyers limiting access for medical professionals, who need them more than anyone else.

Billy__Beane 03/30/20 4:04:23 PM #16:	I agree with this, the problem is healthcare workers should be given a priority since they are actively exposed all throughout the day, and there currently is a shortage. Imagine if they tell everyone to wear a mask and people start hoarding masks which will inevitably happen. Now you have private citizens bidding against hospitals. Also, if you wear a mask you have to refrain from constantly touching your face because it will constantly have to be readjusted and your face will get itchy. <cite>Billy__Beane posted [p:936492144] in COVID-19: ...
