COVID-19 & US healthcare system

[hazard]

Advise in the Netherlands is that the non-medical facemasks are useless at best with the false appearance of protection being quite harmful, and that the medical facemasks are best used by medical personnel (who are most likely to get in contact with the virus) and people who are infected (who are spreading the virus whether they like it or not). As such, leave those masks alone so that the people who will actually need them have access to them. Maintaining isolation and social distancing will be sufficient protection otherwise.
