Definitely when I lost faith in the CDC. We could at least have been wearing home-made masks. I saw Fauci asked about this later, and he actually admitted it was a fear of PPE shortages. It's one of the things that led me to this newsletter.

I still harbor guilt because I had told people that masks were not helpful and based on that, they did not use them. To this day, I feel really bad about it. And I too remember when Fauci admitted this. It felt like a blow to my gut.
And, to my mind, making sure that the brave souls who were caring for extremely ill COVID patients in hospitals far outweighed my own situation, in which I could reduce my exposure and the people I was around were nowhere near as likely to carry the virus as hospital patients.
I do think that companies employing "essential workers" should've 1) been given plenty of masks and 2) required to make sure their employees wore them. Those employees were infecting one another and taking the virus home to their families; they were ignored because they were impoverished and in many cases had skin that wasn't pearly white.

It was the same in the UK. They didn't have enough masks for hospitals.
