Dude said don't wear masks when it was known the virus was airborne. Joke.

Until they understood that it could be spread by asymptomatic carriers -- at which point (In mid March), they fully recommended them. There are far bigger 'jokes' who are still denying mask wearing and other interventions are saving lives.

Tell us all the answers, then, since you obviously have them.

“Dude” advised against going out and grabbing all the N95 grade masks, in order to leave them for healthcare workers, when Trump knew it was “airborne” but attempted to hide it from everyone.

It is ironic that vitamins are okay to recommend. But when practicing physicians got together to recommend HCQ, that advice was labeled as misinformation and promptly removed from everywhere.

Clearly vitamins are better than a drug that has been in use for decades with a proven safety record AND while being recommended by physicians bound to the hippocratic oath.

Why can't there be validity to both vitamins and certain existing drugs? (AND vs OR)

It as though we actively do not want to admit that we may already have something out there that can help us.

PS: Vitamins is a friendly name for often synthetic or derived compounds, not necessarily in the exact same chemical structure as found naturally in organic matter. Not to mention there are also various chemistries that affect absorption etc.

It's a bit off topic, but the seeming "conspiracy" to suppress HCQ has been an eye opener for me. I think the press wants so badly for Trump to be wrong about that, that they're independently all refraining from publishing anything to the contrary. But we heard all about the very flawed or in one case outright fraudulent studies that showed it in a negative light. Meanwhile YouTube has censored videos from doctors talking about the subject. So blatantly partisan and it is costing lives.

I also find it amusing that I get down voted on HN whenever I bring it up. Sheep.

A mask has far more effectiveness than vitamins and has none of the side effects associated with anti-malarial drugs

Those same guidelines were echoed by the CDC because of the PPE shortages caused by people mass buying masks and such. So they understandably designed those past guidelines to prioritize health workers who had a higher viral load than probably any of us experience from day to day activities, mask or not.

But now that masks are common place, the guidelines were evolved to reflect the new reality.
