I hate to say this but it was really the unavailability of masks. They did not want the public buying up masks when there were not enough for hospitals and Healthcare workers. It was a calculation to buy time to increase stockpiles before creating a run on them in the public arena.It wasn't magic, part of it was it turned out to be primarily airborne in transmission versus the more common flu and colds surface contact/hands/nose, wasn't it?
Or is it all, even way back before Covid, having to do with weighing the consequences of asking folks to wear masks?
