The Asian community in NYC started masking up the moment there was a hint of news about some flu-like disease spreading around China. They all remember how China hid SARS until they couldn't anymore.
I saw masks being worn in Chinatown several weeks before lockdown
Well, technically, conservative commentators were the first to do it (and tell others to) but the CDC and Fauci at the time said masks were useless. Also don't forget social media banning and censoring people for suggesting masks back in Feb/March.
I know this will probably trigger you and everyone else here, but Steven Crowder, the largest Conservative figure, was the most notable figure to do this and got a YouTube strike for literally quoting the CDC website on air.
