I said back in February why is dr Fauci telling people wearing masks aren’t necessary when the rate the virus is spreading is clearly a respiratory disease. Then I go to the store and to prepare for a potential lockdown people are buying toilet paper. Not canned goods or medical supplies but toilet paper. People are still partying traveling etc. But trump is the blame? If you’re sitting around waiting for Donald J. Trump to give you directions during a crisis then you already lost to begin with. I asked all my friends out of all those people in the crowded stores, how many do you think washed their hands immediately after they got home?
This narrative doesn't make any sense.
First off, when Dr. Fauci said that it wasn't time to wear masks yet, everyone already knew it was a respiratory disease. That was known from the very beginning. The idea that you somehow discerned is was a respiratory disease due to the spread rate is just a ridiculous story when that had already been known.
He said that because it hadn't spread to most of the USA and thus wasn't the kind of concern where we should run out of masks before the virus had even hit, not because he didn't know it was respiratory. Also, USA ain't the kind of society where everyone is just going to wear masks 24/7 when the infection isn't even happening.
Second, the run on toilet paper and concern about potential lockdowns didn't come until a full month AFTER Fauci's statement about masks. They weren't connected at all.
Most of the blame regarding Trump is because he didn't get supplies together, didn't get resources prepared, and kept publicly downplaying the virus so that his followers wouldn't follow social distancing and expert instructions when they did come, and then politicized different cures rather than letter the best ones work their way out.
