Why is facemask discouraged in the US?

When you are symptomless, you could spread the virus to others without even knowing you have it. Why is it so discouraged? If we all wear one like Asia, it could definitely help. Washing hands don’t do shit if you are already positive.

It’s called racism.

Chip on shoulder. It’s not our cultural norm.

Stupid American culture to be blamed

Step 1: Arrogance Step 2: Regret Step 3: Hatred

Go read more and you’ll find it’s not because of eating bats. What’s the point of saying bats again and again?

What is it then? Proof?

Because US failed to acquire/make enough masks.

Amazon wJkswa Mar 17, 2020

Yeah seriously, all those people now unemployed could have been taught to make masks and setup small factories.

People being taught to make masks at home? Where are you from? A third world country?

Saying masks work these days feel like an antivaxx who doesn't believe in Science. Lmao. Every authority comes out with "Masks don't work", meanwhile making off-hand comments about how we are too stupid to wear masks correctly. We can't possibly learn it, so don't even try.

Amazon cirnrnck Mar 18, 2020

they are talking to the ppl not too stupid to wear it correctly

false, n95 masks do work

Microsoft fkms Mar 17, 2020

Because it’s the same people who cleans tirelessly around the house and also wear outdoor shoes in the house.

Microsoft LC#hard Mar 17, 2020

Wearing facemask is stupid and not cool

Microsoft leetmyday Mar 18, 2020

It’s cool if you wear a black one

Amazon cirnrnck Mar 18, 2020

yup blackface is cool

Amazon fhrbrkdm Mar 17, 2020

Extreme scarcity.

False. You should not wear toilet paper either

Amazon Whatdusay? Mar 17, 2020

Heard an interesting viewpoint when I went to the doctor. Essentially if you're not used to wearing a mask, you'll likely be touching your face more to continuously adjust it.

Stripe fufbxdydgj Mar 17, 2020

Oh yes the "you're too dumb to use mask" argument.

Netflix engtools Mar 17, 2020

No, “you are too dumb if you wear mask” argument
