But anyway - it's not conflicting information, misinformation or lying. There hadn't been studies into whether or not masks were effective in blocking Covid spread and there were varying hypotheses on whether it would help, do nothing, or make matters worse. We're now 4 months into this pandemic, people have been doing the research, and it has been convincingly proven that wearing masks makes a significant difference in community transmission. There's not much more to it than that. The information hasn't "changed" - it just wasn't available before.

do you not think though that if masks had been in plentiful supply right from the start that the government would have recommended them then? Any protection is better than nothing. I think their initial guidance was driven by the lack of supply
