Robert Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, believes "the most powerful weapon we have" against the novel coronavirus is wearing face coverings, washing hands and "being smart about social distancing."

"If we all rigorously did this, we could really bring this outbreak back to where it needs to be," Redfield told the Journal of the American Medical Association via video on Tuesday.

Coronavirus cases are surging across the U.S., from California to Texas to Florida. More than 3.4 million people in the country have been diagnosed with the coronavirus and over 136,00 people have died.

To Redfield, a major key to controlling the pandemic is wearing masks.

"I really do believe if the American public all embraced masking now and we really did it, you know, rigorously ... I think if we can get everybody to wear a mask right now, I really do think over the next four to six, eight weeks, we can bring this epidemic under control," Redfield said.

I would be very happy if this virus epidemic could be "under control" in next 8 weeks...

Anybody that knows what they are talking about that says wearing masks will end this is lying. It’s really that simple.

Trump has officially cut the CDC out of the loop as they and their statistics are unreliable.

I wear a mask. But the reality is that this virus isn’t going away. Is a mask going to be a permanent accessory?

I believe people at the CDC are making a mint off masks.

Masks that have a warning on them that state the masks will not protect you from virus.

What a scam.

The problem he’s got is that Fauci said masks not useful a few months ago, here:

So Federal public health officials have a serious credibility problem today. How do we know when they’re serious and correct, when they’re lying, and when they’re talking out of their nether regions out of ignorance, but trying to look smart?

Sadly, we don’t.

The purpose of masks is to protect the wearer. That’s it. That has ALWAYS been it.

Until a bunch of LYING experts started telling us that it is “for everybody else”. That is what empowers the Karens.

If they could have used that excuse for seat belts, they would have. But that is more obvious bullchit.

You are absolutely correct. All the protective measures, most notably shutdowns of schools, only help to PROLONG the virus.

Watch how many people are wearing masks with exhale valves. I just saw another one on twitter five minutes ago, attacking others for not wearing a mask! Masks with exhale valves do nothing to protect others. I see it all the time, I understand because I’ve worn fit tested masks as PPE. I’ve seen reporters wearing masks with exhale valves in the WH press briefing room nearly every time.

People wear masks with exhale valves, they wear them under their nose, their glasses fog up - meaning the mask is leaking when they exhale, they touch the masks, take them off to talk, eat, and attack people not wearing masks. There are videos all over twitter showing it. And I’ve never seen a video where someone not wearing a mask is attacking a mask wearer. It’s always been the mask wearer attacking others.

I think it’s so interesting we are having a “surging” increase in covid cases in nearly perfect timing with mask mandates. Obviously masks aren’t preventing covid, no one can make a rational case that only those not wearing masks are getting it. But the DNC/press has got everyone so brainwashed they can’t think logically anymore.

It’s almost like the mask mandate is a test to see how easily we will obey without thinking. And it makes us fight each other. The whole covid thing has that feel to me.

How many know pneumonia deaths have consistently been higher than covid since Feb 1? That information is on the CDC Provisional Death Count web page.

“the most powerful weapon we have” against the novel coronavirus is wearing face coverings, washing hands and “being smart about social distancing.”

The most powerful weapon we have is to ban every GD thing and person from China from coming into this country.

It will NEVER be under control until there is a vaccine developed for it, just like small pox.
Some of these people should go back and demand their money back from the schools they went to because they didnt learn a dam thing while there.

I would say the only realistic say to bring this under control is here immunity.

"If we all rigorously did this, we could really bring this outbreak back to where it needs to be," Redfield told the Journal of the American Medical Association via video on Tuesday.

I have asked this question on my social media--"What does 8 weeks of wearing a mask get us--what happens after that? Do things go back to normal? Can businesses fully resume, can we eat a restaurants, go to movies and sporting events, and can we interact at pre-COVID-19 standards; e.g., no-mask, no distancing?"

No one yet, has been able to sufficiently answer those questions. I'm willing to participate in this silly little experiment for up to 8 weeks, but not if after that period, we're still subjected to random shutdowns and temper tantrums from tyrannical government officials.

Complete BS. The Influenza virus has been with us for decades. Nowhere in any of the literature dealing with that virus is there any mention of masks as effective.
This Wuhan virus is much smaller than the Influenza virus. So, if there is no evidence after many decades of research that a mask is effective against Influenza how is it effective against the much smaller Wuhan virus?
