So am I supposed to wear a mask at all times outdoors or not? Because in the Netherlands there are NO masks for sale and all of them are being given to healthcare personnel. I have some sent by my parents but am I just going to keep having to ask them for more?

Yes you should, no matter what other people do. The government/media don't seem to explain this remotely well enough anywhere.

The purpose of a "civilian" mask is first and foremost to prevent the wearer from spitting, coughing or otherwise distributing their saliva around themselves by means of a physical barrier in case you are infected and don't know it. No more, no less. If everybody wears a mask we all protect each other.

So please, wear a mask when you go shopping, use public transport or are somewhere you can't distance well from others. Any mask, no matter what others do. Once critical mass of mask-wearers is reached, the sheeple reflex in non-wearers will hopefully kick in, regardless of their ability/willingness to understand the "why" and they will start wearing one, too, because they feel ostracized if they dont.

We had it a happening with the Chinese population here a long time before roni so it wasn't unheard of and it's still not the majority. Going full face covering now though won't get you a second glance though no matter who / where you are. Well maybe in a bank but I haven't tried that one and am not in a rush to see.
this

also it's a requirement here in some california counties/cities (including mine) that workers and yourself must wear a mask to go to any store/pickup/etc and employees aren't supposed to serve people without one.

kinda dumb it took them like a month after a lockdown to do that tho, should have been an obvious day 1 thing

We won't know if the US has reached the peak until we see next week's Tues/Wed numbers, but it's super optimistic to assume they'll be lower than last week's.


Yeah I was talking to my dad on the phone and now he LOVES ScoMo and thinks that the press has been treating him really unfairly

We just had the highest number of cases ever on a Saturday! We have not hit the peak yet. Maybe NYC hit their peak, but even counting the metro area that's just 6.2% of the country.

clothe masks/bandanas are accepted for mask-requirements

if you have an actual nice mask like a n95, you can re-use them with proper care, probably for at least a month if you keep them clean

a buncha hardware store n95s have the exhale valve imo which kinda defeats the idea of wearing one to protect others from urself but wearing anything remains better than nothing afaik

i glued down the one way valve tho that was on the mask ive been using for grungy around the house work so yeah

:yooge: BUT AND ILL KEEP WEARING THAT GARBAGE

the vast majority of deaths will happen after the peak. of course, any reporting of a "peak" will cause untold numbers of idiots to justify going out, so there will no doubt be a few peaks

Yeah if you look at the graphs of countries like Italy and Spain which peaked a few weeks ago the tail-off is wayyyyyyyyslower that the buildup and they still have a long way to go:
