we they were saying it wouldn't help or wasn't necessary.

I believe, L.A. anyway, was saying that so people didn't go out and buy all the N95 masks (that were needed for health-care workers)—seeing what happened with toilet paper, etc, I think that was a wise move.

Now, whenever they talk about wearing your face-covering in Los Angeles, they always refer to it as a "cloth" face covering.
