I agree with that Ammi, I wish they would just say "look guys ideally we'd all just stick with distancing for the long term but in practical terms the country is going to collapse so masks are our best option for a half-way point".

They don't think people will accept a compromise though and I'm not sure I even really blame them there, people have not done a good job in recent years in suggesting that they can comprehend or accept shades of gray, they will push HARD for a simple black-or-white answer and that makes honesty quite difficult. When is the honest truth ever easy to swallow?
