CDC lied because people will panic buy, see what happened with toilet paper, it got ample supply, but still cant handle people buying them for year round quantity. They suspect our healthcare system will crash in a blink if people were panic buying masks either because medical professionals were in strike or sick

There's already a massive shortage of masks so I don't what lying about it and then changing stances during a crisis is supposed to accomplish.

But given their failure with Covid testing early on, it doesn't surprise me to see them bungle.
