Although I am advising friends who are tight on money to stop paying their bills. I would expect that a large number of that 21 million are alive and broke

Agreed. So knock it down to 10% of that.

"Although surgical masks are not tightly sealed like N95s, the filters they contain are still a major impediment to microbes. The CDC and other health agencies often say that surgical masks catch only spurts of bodily fluids and very large respiratory droplets, and that they cannot filter tiny infectious particles. But this is simply not true."

One thing reported from the ground in China is that hospitals in Beijing and Shanghai were NOT overflowing. So to the extent that there was a coverup, it was not like, say, the Mao's Great Famine.
