"The CDC is also reportedly considering changing its guidance on masks here. The new thinking stems from the growing evidence that people can have and spread the virus for 48 hours before they start feeling symptoms."

I am wanting to see us all wear masks until this virus is contained. I am glad I'm not the only one.
I understand why we were discouraged from masks at first. If that had been suggested from the beginning, the panic buying would have been chaos. I understand medical personnel should be a priority for protective gear.
But when this first began in China, I noticed most of the people were wearing masks. And as the government cracked down, it appeared they all were.
We don't know who is carrying the virus. Many people do not display any symptoms, but are still contagious. We were told masks don't protect us from the virus. We were told to on my wear masks if we are medical personnel or if we are sick - so we do not so dead the virus.
But that is faulty advice, since we can be carrying the virus without even knowing it.
Plus, if we all wear masks, it removes any stigma.
After all, we are all in this together.
All of us.
The entire world.
That is why covid-19 is called a pandemic.
As of 4/01/2020, 9:37 pm, there are a total of 940,897 cases worldwide. 47,181 people have died.

I imagine by this time tomorrow, there will be over a million known cases.
Known cases. Because not everyone with symptoms is being tested.
And not everyone with the virus is exhibiting symptoms.
That's all. For now.
Be well, and healthy.
Talk to you tomorrow.
Love,
Zita
