The answer may come down to practicality, according to Dr. William Schaffner, medical director of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases.
At this point in the United States' outbreak, nearly everyone can find a mask or make one, Schaffner explained, which may not be true in every country around the world, especially countries with fewer resources than the U.S. Advising universal mask wearing in a place where it's impossible to adhere to that guidance could hurt the WHO's reputation in those countries, he explained.

According to the doctor other countries don’t have access to any cloth to make a homemade mask so that’s why the WHO is against recommending everyone where one. Maybe it’s because homemade ones really don’t do anything & the CDC caved to political pressure.
Forget these organizations. Nothing good. Protect yourselves.
WTF kind of article is this?The scandal is they DISAGREE without explanation - what is the SCIENCE? Is WHO lyjng or not? Did our SG lie to us, knowing masks work but feared the shortage, like WHO is doing now? Cc: brithume GovKemp MeghanMcCain ajc VP CDCDirector JoeBiden
If more people wear mask it will reduce the burden on healthcare system and the reduction in usage of mask by medical staff. Which is easier ,to ramp up production of mask4all or to provide medical care for rising infection cases?
Maybe their both wrong... ever think of that ?
The CDC knows what’s right but their science is being hijacked by Trump so he can have rallies. He does not care about Americans’ health. Wise up people. Imagine ordering churches to open so old folks can get together and spread Covid19 to one another. Uncaring. Heartless.
WHO all work for China!
Anyone with a brain cell knew this early on. If health professionals wear masks then it is beneficial to wear masks. If they tell us not to wear masks it’s because they don’t want pandemonium from us trying to find masks
Bull. You can use a tee shirt. Most people have one
Fuck the WHO they are in bed with China.
Because they are both just making shit up.
There are millions of ppl in the streets the last few days in massive crowds close together with/without masks. Don’t you think this is a dead issue about right now?
to much confusion especially when they throw the asymptomatic guilt trip on everyone
WHO is run by scientists & CDC is run by Trump. I don’t need to read the whole thing to understand why. And that is the fact!
abc I CANT WAIT to see what an “expert” who knows more than the CDC and WHO together has to say
I'm glad Trump got America out of the Wuhan Health Organization.
Its a shame that both CDC and WHO have no idea what the hell is going on.
Looks like liberals are helping us with that herd immunity thing tonight.
The WHO is in China's pocket?
No one cares. What’s happening at the White House?
