ANTHONY FAUCI/CORONAVIRUS: “There may be some situations where it’s appropriate and a good idea to mandate masks [to mitigate the spread of coronavirus]. But we just need to keep getting the message across that we are all in this together.
And it’s important because one of the purposes of the masks is that if you may be inadvertently not knowing that you are infected, to prevent others from getting infected, as well as a degree of protection yourself. We have to keep hammering home at that message.
I’m very pleased to see that the president is wearing a mask more now… We need more of that consistency.”
