Citing several studies, the CDC said it changed its recommendation based on evidence showing that the virus can be transmitted by people who are asymptomatic, or who are not yet showing symptoms or feeling sick.
“We now know from recent studies that a significant portion of individuals with coronavirus lack symptoms (‘asymptomatic’) and that even those who eventually develop symptoms (‘pre-symptomatic’) can transmit the virus to others before showing symptoms,” the CDC’s webpage says. “This means that the virus can spread between people interacting in close proximity — for example, speaking, coughing, or sneezing — even if those people are not exhibiting symptoms.”

Hope this helps.
I don't think the CDC changing its tune was all that related to developing knowledge. They were trying to prevent a run on PPE. In any case, there were other sources. Early on, China - yes that China - advised that the US biggest mistake in tackling the outbreak at that time was failure to distribute and require masks.

If you'd like, I can show you statements Fauci made that show he and CDC knew asymptomatic spread was common as early as beginning of February. They knew about asymptomatic spread for at least 6 weeks while they were recommending against masks.
Of course, it may be that these bureaucratic government organizations simply cannot respond to information any faster.

If if was only to prevent a run on PPE they should have said wearing masks reduces spread, we need the N95 and surgical masks for healthcare worker, but we strongly recommend you create home-made alternatives.
Having your mind revolving in an infinite loop is a terrible thing.
No, it wasn't. Every time I ask the question you make up some excuse for not answering it.
What did we learn after March to change the recommendation about wearing masks? Hint: don't say asymptomatic spread because we knew that by early February at the latest.
"Seriously people- STOP BUYING MASKS! They are NOT effective in preventing general public from catching coronavirus"
US Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams, Feb 29,2020
Yes, they were saying masks were not necessary and not effective. Now, if you don't wear one, they're claiming you are killing people.

I sent you an explanation from Mayo Clinic. You can read it or ignore it. I don't care if you take it for an answer or not. I won't be wasting more time with your loop episodes.
