Yeah, people in the US were saying we didn't need a mask early on. But like the other posters have said I think it was because they just didn't know yet. I don't think it was a lie and I don't think there is some underground conspiracy network that decided they need to lie so frontline workers could get all the masks. Sara was doing good challenging her but then backed down when Meghan was a bitch.
My gym requires a mask at all times, so I do an hour cardio and hour lift in it. It is really not that big of a deal to wear one.
