It is now an official CDC recommendation.

I think I may start wearing a mask if I have to go to a confined space with a lot of people like a grocery store.

I don’t think they are necessary for solitary exercise outside as long as you are away from people.

Do you have any?
All stores say sold out. Amazon and eBay are not helpful either (delivery date in May or after).

I agree. Going on my runs I think I'll skip it. The rest of the time, I'll wear one. I have been enjoying getting outdoors much more often by being at home.

I have a spare N95 mask I had purchased months ago for woodworking in the garage.

I lucked out on that because yes, there are no more available right now.

They're sold out as well as purpose made neck gaiters that can be pulled up to cover the mouth and nose. We all are going to have to do what Marines say: improvise, adapt and overcome

The following is only my opinion:

Answer: Yes ......All should wear masks to limit exposure with focus on flattening the curve.

A mask can be anything tied around your face.

It doesn't literally have to be a mask you get off the store shelf.

A folded t-shirt, scarf, tied around your face will help greatly to stop spreading YOUR germs, because any of us healthy people can already be infected.

If you're in a high traffic public place, you should cover your face for the greater good, just to trap your spittle when you talk.

Trump emphasized that wearing masks in public is voluntary and said he will not be doing so.

Why are people still fighting this mask issue... Trump is so ashamed to wear a mask, probably because it will look like a muzzle on his big mouth.


All the impressionable trump supporters are going to follow his lead, and continue to spread germs they don't even know they have, because no one is getting tested.



Well, at least USA is #1 now.... in corona deaths.

keep proudly coughing and sneezing and spitting on each other while you talk, murica
and keep hoping you never have to return to work as you burn through your savings.



Good luck social distancing with this....

Trump probably does not want to mess up his makeup. I think it's a disgrace that the leader of a country, makes such a statement. What a piece of work. Our governor stated we could compete for the best looking mask. (Gov Polis, of Colorado, is going to wear a mask.) I would rather wear a mask, than die or be deathly ill from this virus.

This is serious, not a joke. What is up with trump these days? He seems drugged or something, to me. Not enough play time? Has to make difficult decisions. Come on, someone needs to fire him. IMO
