@darnell I wonder if US public health will even bother mentioning masks this time or just go directly to a vaccine only approach. 4.8M doses (assuming 1 dose confers immunity) is about 1.5% of the US population. On an optimistic note, if the worst does come to pass, there will be plenty of doses freed up by the "I will not comply" thanks to the politicization of preventive medicine. N95's should be a staple PPE available in every pharmacy, but good idea to stock up before there are shortages.
