Stop the spread, was this a simple cheap alternative.

    Thoughts on this please.
    Why didn't the government, in the early days, simply issue all Australian people access to compulsory wearing of face masks and latex gloves in public for a maximum of 2 months.
    This way they country would not have needed to shut down , and this would have saved all jobs, the economy and huge sums of money.
    Public disinfecting of infrastructure such as public transport, escaltors enclosed public areas, etc etc would continue for this period.

    Was it simply a case of, we did not have the necessary products as 80tonnes was shipped to China and who knows how many countless loads were sent??

    Why was not a plan like this implemented..It seems social isolating is the cheap cousin (yet profoundly much more expensive due to complete shutdowns etc), to the implementations i suggested...

    Am i missing something here??
