As the White House coronavirus task force continues to debate whether to officially revise the Center for Disease Control guidelines on wearing masks, President Donald Trump now has informally endorsed the idea -- backing Americans wearing face coverings when going out in public.
"It's not a bad idea, at least for a period of time" to cover your face when going out in public," Trump said at his White House briefing Tuesday evening, suggesting Americans wear a scarf as an alternative.
"You can use a scarf, a lot of people have scarves and you can use a scarf. A scarf would be very good. My feeling is if people want to do it there's certainly no harm to it. I would say do it. Use a scarf if you want rather than going out and getting a mask," he said.
As the situation and understanding of the virus has evolved, the task force has seen cases of unknown origin and studied the community spread where there is no known nexus to travel. They've also seen recent studies that the virus seems to be able stay alive in aerosolized form -- linger in the air -- in limited scenarios.
The debate over how to formally advise Americans of any change is fluid, but sources tell ABC News there is a general agreement inside the task force that face coverings should be recommended.
Any guidance is likely to recommend avoiding the use of those N95 medical masks that hospitals across the country so desperately need. The CDC has been having informal conversations about the issue over the past week, and one idea floated was recommending the use of masks inside nursing homes, according to sources.

I was gonna order some Western Hankies (scarves) from Target. Always wanted to be a drover.
Just don’t wear that mask into a bank . . .
Cue up the criticism from the media that scarves do not filter out pathogens as well as an N95 mask in 3, 2, 1.........
Anything Trump says will be criticized, labeled as racist (cultural appropriation on scarves), called a lie, and be proof positive that he is a neolithic caveman.
Hi-Yo Silver Away!

Idiotic lamtard media nit-picking.

Dr. Birx could supply half of Manhattan.
While the CDC and FDA contemplate their bellybuttons, President Trump can’t wait and turns to common sense.
Is that supposed to be Janet Jackson?
There are instructions on-line for folding up an bandanna. The wife made me one for my Costco line up. I suspect it is significantly better than nothing as there are multiple layers of protection. BUT eye protection is needed as well.
“Dr. Birx could supply half of Manhattan. “
SNORT!! Very good. She could, indeed!
With a scarf, you can still catch it, but it would more llkely be a light viral load and hence a mild case.
Or you could maybe tie on a falsie.
I am not wearing a scarf. This virus is fake.
I will start wearing my Darth Vader garb.
Well if you’re looking for a commercial product you won’t find it on Amazon. Every type of respiratory protection is only being sold to government agencies and hospitals.
