Coronavirus expert says Americans will be wearing masks for ‘several years’

Health experts won’t ask Americans to take off their masks any time soon.

That’s the take of Eric Toner, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security. He has been preparing for an outbreak like the novel coronavirus as part of his work for years.

“I think that mask wearing and some degree of social distancing, we will be living with — hopefully living with happily — for several years,” he said. “It's actually pretty straightforward. If we cover our faces, and both you and anyone you're interacting with are wearing a mask, the risk of transmission goes way down.”

Dr. Anthony Fauci, a top official handling the U.S. COVID-19 response, said recently he was cautiously optimistic that there could be a vaccine for the virus by 2021.

For those who refuse to wear a mask in the interim, Toner said they’ll eventually wise up.

“They will get over it," he says. "It's just a question of how many people get sick and die before they get over it."

I have started to see people wearing some disgustingly filthy masks that can’t be healthy for them. It about makes me want to throw up.

Not anyone else’s job to protect my health outside of an OR and vice versa. Stuff your mask.

This CONVID scam is an attack on small business. 99.7% of Americans work for small business (Source). Once the left crushes small business the people will be dependent on gov't.

“For several years” ... or until 11/3/2020. It’s all about Trump’s re-election.

Notice nobody least of all lying politicians is even saying to wash your hands anymore? It’s just the “must wear mask” mantra.
The best way to protect yourself from infection-Wash Your Hands!! Masks are useless. Washing hands actually works.
Think people.
And remember the last time somebody said to wash your hands? Me neither.

“Trump had better push back against this sh**, and soon.”

Yes. At this point in time, the mask issue is bigger than The Wall. Basic freedom of Americans is at stake.

“My respect for Johns Hopkins has gone way down through all this. I dont know who pulls their strings”

My BIL retired from healthcare admin and worked closely with Johns Hopkins. He does know who “pulls the strings”, and it ain’t pretty. I think he said you can tell a lot by looking at whom faciities, foundations, and buildings are named after. For one: “Gates”.
