"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...

The masks may eventually go away but the stupid is here to stay.

It is really surprising that the CDC has not recommended everyone in the world just quit breathing.   /s

Horses#!t

[rovenstinez]

I think we tried this, and it didn;t work.

[Diogenesis]

hey Dr. CDC, what is plan B?

release SARS_CoV-22?

or perhaps your supersecret MERS_CoV-23?

how much stock do “people” in your Agency
have in VACCINE companies?

where were you when the CEOs of the HCQ making company
were slaughtered??

I would like to know what the status is on any type of therapeutic treatment, it seems that the powers that be have no interest in any of the potentially beneficial procedures that are going on out there.

[DaxtonBrown]

This woulD require masks to be worn PERMANENTLY.

[Sooth2222]

Or it may have been be under control 4 weeks ago and masks don’t matter at this point.

[Nifster]

I’m glad this idiot “believes” that masks work

No can we get to the real science that show they don’t??

Yup. Didn’t think so

[IrishBrigade]

‘wearing face coverings, washing hands and “being smart about social distancing.”

if we were being smart about social distancing, and actually practicing it, would that not make face coverings redundant...? I’ll gladly social distance, but then don’t force me to cover my face and nose...

[Buckeye McFrog]

“Control” is a weasel word.

Does it mean “wiped out”? No, that’s not possible.

It’s a vague undefined term that allows them to keep continually moving the goalposts.

I put this on Pence. The task force should be defining clear goals and timelines.

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

BS, that would men that some states residents are wearing masks properly and other are not, in order to see these state discrepancies.

[Socon-Econ]

Ignore that junk scientist:

1. You can’t breathe easily through common mask fabric, so you inhale and exhale around the edges of the mask. (That’s why glasses fog up.) Thus, the same germs that you might sneeze out are being steadily breathed out into whatever space you are sharing.

2. The fabric itself is too coarse to trap viruses.

3. Because you cannot easily breathe through the fabric, your body has to work harder to obtain given amounts of oxygen, and you are inhaling some stale mask air as you breathe. People can get used to this, just as they can get used to working in 100 degree heat; but the body is still having to work harder to get oxygen.

Wearing a mask to prevent COVID-19 is like putting up a chain link fence to stop mosquitos.

[painter]

Bump!

[cherry]

ridiculous....the virus spreads to enough people and thats how it weakens and stops....until the next Chinese invention....

I wear a mask because I am in several vulnerable categories..

[FES0844]

They’re worse than plastic bottles littering the streets. Masks, gloves, gowns overflowing the dump. How come no protesters?

[circlecity]

1-2 months........5-6 months........a year and a half, max............get used to it.

[HamiltonJay]

Show me one shred of scientific evidence to back this claim up.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

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