ANTHONY FAUCI/CORONAVIRUS: “One of the things that happened is the realization that we have such a high percentage of people who are asymptomatic and who we know can spread the [coronavirus] infection… those are the ones that we want to have masks on…
It isn’t 100% protection by any means, but certainly the amount that you get is worth wearing it…
We have to admit it that that mixed message in the beginning, even though it was well-meant to allow masks to be available for health workers, that was detrimental in getting the message across right now. No doubt about it.”
