The CDC now recommends Americans wear cloth face coverings as a voluntary health measure, leaving medical-grade masks for healthcare workers on the frontlines.

CDC Recommends Wearing Cloth Face Coverings Or Masks: What You Need To Know | NBC Nightly News
Trump sounds like a second grader when he reads. My apologies to second graders.
Make up ur minds
Can I wear the scream mask?
https://youtu.be/R99EQyZ3Njk
they are moving fast with their take over
LMAO the CDC is laughable, it is only now that they recommended wearing of masks?!, no wonder the infection rate is high, I don’t think you need research to impose wearing of masks as prophylactic
Just a thought..who might be responsible for the coronavirus…Mother Nature…she says..”humans your melting the ice caps.. I am all hot and bothered now..time to put an end to this”…I know Mother Nature is just a moniker..but..what if?……stay healthy.. peace..
The slave masters in the United States corporation and China sent a bio weapon that the United States and China sent to the people worldwide is affecting people that are only in 5G areas,and it’s only affecting the people who took their measles mumps and rubella shot or their vaccines
First CDC said Don’t wear mask.
Now When its already spread out virus, CDC recommends wear mask.
I wear long sleeve shirts i can’t find masks anywhere. Just lost my aunt this morning due 2 this f n virus
Dear lord please help find a cure a men
Nature has sent a note: Earth does not need you… you need Earth
Trump:”there will be death”
Thanks GOP
Trillions of dollars spent in the wars for the last 40 years, in the whole world, getting very less for people.
Cloth Mask helps nothing! Pls wear Medical Face Masks, pls!
voluntary
I only wear my lip sticks no matter what, I love to wear it every were i go
A bandana will not save you from a bioweapon
So now wrapping any-old scarf around my face will stop this epidemic? 4 months ago the CDC would have laughed at such a proposal. So CDC please show the careful studies that prove a scarf is effective. They can’t even decide if the CCP virus is airborne or not.
Took the West so long to realize covering face is useful, the Asians have been doing it since the start of the virus outbreak. Does it explain why the infection rates are much lower in Asian countries?
Here’s the link to a video explaining why the infection rate is so high in Italy. Several weeks ago, in Italy, government officials laughing at an Italian MP for wearing a mask. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wY5eNHXvGjY
Wear a mask, people. Stay safe.
Feng Zheng Not everyone can find one. I’ve seen ambulance drivers on break without one because they don’t have one. They can’t wear cloth masks either. They were indeed social distancing.
Of course he won’t do it. He don’t listen to anyone in the government. If he didn’t like them, he’d just fire them.
So how do we win Reverse War of The Worlds?🤔
Now, everyone wear N95 masks, and go back to work. The working space should be partitioned, ventilated, etc. The economy is being screwed up. You should open the country.
The GM Korea is running its factory at full capacity. Every worker is wearing masks. The working space is protected against coronavirus. Even the diner is partitioned using acrylic panel.
And Dear Leader sets his usual bad example.
Teachers buy Taiwanese masks and do not buy from China because it is not safe and does not guarantee quality. It is very likely that the whole community has been infected by the virus so the kit and virus
How to make the bandanna type mask with 2 rubberbands for ear loops is creative. Out West here everyone wears the bandanna like its a holdup simply tied behind your head.
I have 2 of the risks. I am elderly (I don’t relate to that term) and I have asthma. We are doing everything we can to keep it from coming to our home.
They said you don’t need masks at the beginning g because they wanted healthcare providers to have them first, then when the supplies caught up to demand they want you to wear them. Simple and necessary strategy. If they recommended using them from the start, there would have been people hoarding them and the doctors and nurses wouldn’t have had any. Grow up clowns. Even if you get the virus you still have a 98% chance of survival in America…
TRUMP: You can wear the masks for protection. But I think I never gonna do that. (More Questions?)
health people shall wear the mask, because when you detect some who is affected by the virus could have already spread the virus to many other healthy people. so it is much more important health people wear the mask to protect yourselves.
What happened to not wearing them because people touch their faces- that was for months, keeping up the oieb
Lie
As a nurse I go to work putting my like and my family’s life at risk to safe others during this crisis. Hearing from the president that he will not be using a mask and focusing on the fact that using a mask is optional, is truly unacceptable. We should all be doing everything we can to protect ourselves as well as others and using a mask WILL most definitely help. Every one please do everything you can to stay safe. And may the Lord be with us during this difficult times.
Our president looks tired and I know he is, no one hardly ever comments on this but I can see he’s terribly weak looking and tired looking, if your close to the president please watch out for him he has a lot on his plate.
Sounds like another Trump hating chat room. Why do you all need to be told what to do? We are all taught about things like viruses and the spread of germs in school. Too many people are shucking personal accountability and passing the buck to the powers that be. What would John F. Kennedy think of Americans’ behavior during this? “Ask not what your country can do for you…” How about the people going to that church and talking about being protected because they are covered in Jesus Christ’s blood. The spring breakers that you would normally find hollering about social justice have inadvertently killed potentially tens of thousands of fellow countrymen claiming “world hunger” and “poverty” are “bigger issues than covid-19…” We all know exactly what needs to be done to stop this.
Oct 11 2019 meteorite falls NE Songyuan spotted traveling east. What other city is NE? Wuhan. takes a month to adapt to our oxygen and weaponize. why cant we find patient Zero? infects 41 people, and they start pouring in medical clinics around wuhan. that was Nov 17th. and they started reporting it to WHO dec 31. They could never find where the meteorite landed. and this virus has never been seen before.
To be honest, I am worried about the future of the nation. Other countries have shown us the lessons. We are basically making the same mistakes again and learning the same lessons.
The only way a virus can be transmitted to you is through a vaccine. There is NO way you can get a virus from another person by coughing, handshaking or whatever, because the virus is NOT alive!!! Bacterial infection yes, but not a virus. Masks, two meter distance is USELESS… GET IT??? All made to distance us, to separate us. Open your eyes for the truth!!!
CDC is unreal.
Right ! Right ! Cover your face ! Republican have lost me here ! Refrigerator trailers at hospital’s in New York ! There hauling away bodies and what is white house saying ? They lost me !
Trump is going to be forced to wear a mask in two weeks
Wow… look how they won’t show Andrew Cuomo telling people to smell his hands, or DeBlasio tweeting that people should go out on the town and see a Broadway show….
They lied to us so that we wouldn’t hoard masks? Nobody has a problem with this? We the Sheeple
Thanks to those that make and donation mask.
I will ware 1, to help, & since the CDC isn’t sure about everything. They why take chances?🙏
Buy masks grom this store and stay safe! savelifes.shop
I bought mine there and its very good
I already have masks before coronavirus I bought 50 masks for $4 but now it’s rising to $30

Wear a Muslim face veil you say?!
All women riot for being targeted all these years for wearing one lol
Protect yourself now 😷👉https://next-pulse.com/collections/all/products/antiviral-face-mask-with-filter-washable-reusable-masks .
Same CDC that said last week that mask wouldn’t help the average person?
Leialoha silva No mask is 100% effective. A worker wearing a mask gave pneumonia to customers. Mask or no mask, we need to take precautions if we aren’t medical workers. Not everyone has a mask.
@Micah Torres Oh I agree…my comment was in response to the fact that they were adamant about not wearing them not too long ago.
What’s the point of trying to save humanity when the government’s,police,corporations are corrupt people won’t stand up to them people are ignorant arrogant greedy selfish lazy feminism and racism should not exist at this point because people can’t grow up we learn nothing from history people all around the world are unable to get along as time goes on it doesn’t get better it gets worse and so much more we had our chance on this planet and screwed it up horribly think long and hard about this
Simon says,,,,
Push Ups,Squads,Stretching, Regularly…Small meals,drink lots of water👉read to occupy taughs.Gosh took quarantine to realise that.
Sadly, simple masks will not work like cotton.
Seems stupid to tell people not to wear masks even though the disease is airborne.
HawaiiSplitAc.com Mask available for sale
Unless it is particulate filter it wont do much
They are saying this virus can stay in the air for 3 hours and they are still debating whether it’s a good thing to wear?
Something is very wrong here.
A virus can enter through your eyes, your skin where it is an open wound, as small as a pore. Even if you scratch yourself at night whilst sleep. In the morning if you touch any surface containing the virus OR contaminated air flow in contact with that specific irritated area you’ll get it. Also.. The virus can enter through the pores of your skin, whilst you sweat. So basically, saying that a mask with no biological hazard qualities will qualify as ” universal protection ” is misleading. Any individual who wants to be fully protected needs a special suit and mask, used in biological hazardous activities, all sealed.
ROFL! Everyone but Trump is SCARED of a BAD FLU that killed fewer people thaN THE FLU. PLUS we now have a CURE so what’s everyone PARANOID about???????????
Every day almost the CDCs recommendations flip flop. Being in the hospital I have come to the realization that said recommendations have nothing to do with what is actual best practice and simply evolve to what is most practical at the time. 2 weeks ago we were told our odds of catching covid went up if we constantly wore a mask because that warm and humidified area you continue rebreathing is perfect breeding ground for the virus to multiply. Now it seems to be what they want for the world. The media pressure has all agencies tied to this spiraling. If you think a rolled up bandana is really stopping virus at 0.125 micron size and this recommendation isnt mostly for comfort… well… at least people wont bark at you for a sniffle anymore… maybe.
Care for yourself and others..wear a cloth mask. It even protects from air polution.
Well……..DUH……
In Kerala every person wears a handkerchief around face and so state has only one corona virus death.
Total BS!!
What I don’t hear is the information that mishandeling the masks ‘after’ use can be just as risky as not using them at all. Using masks ‘correctly’ and then disposing or cleaning them ‘properly’ is critically important.
some ol b.s.
ya you bet i’m going to wear a mask. No need for government to tell me. Someone intentionally cough on me as he passed by!
All people with no faith, none.
Wonder if people know that you can get sick if the viral particle touches your eyes too
The CDC is a threat to the public. Every day it’s something else. The surgeon General is a lieutenant at best. People will run amok if these idiots are not relieved of their positions.
last year 1 dollor 20 pics but now how much?
Westerners should cover up their faces before it is too late. Learn from the Asian countries.

If you want to make an easy mask for you and your family this Facebook group has the best free pattern!!!

In China, everyone wear masks, while the CDC was telling people not to. Why now? If a Face mask won’t work for the average Americans, why now?
please let folks know, whoever you can, they can order right away at http://www.nuvaskusa.com
This is a bank robber’s dream scenario
Finally – and if you happen to have a n95, or a surgical mask, here’s how you can sterilize it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXgPRl65gPE
New guidance? Lol
Those cloth masks will likely get contaminated. Not worth it in the end unless you want to rob a bank. Surgical is the way to go because you can throw them away but I want health professionals to have them. Just practice social distancing
Lol. Are they serious? Maybe they can get the Bloods and Crips leaders to donate their extra bandanas.
Ok so reminder gullible puppets wear your masks as the authorities tell you to so me & others who wont can have laugh at them who do wear their fear mongers masks…lol…
I’ve seen ambulance drivers on break not wear a mask because they didn’t have any. They aren’t allowed cloth masks.
US government lie about such basic information. How can you trust this government?
the enemy 5G
We look like walking cannibals
No more spit mask !!
You can buy commercially manufactured cloth face masks that meet the CDC’s guidelines here – http://www.maskexclusive.com
CDC initially claimed medical grade masks were ineffective , now they are suggesting we….wait for it ….make DIY cloth masks for “ minimal “ protection. This after they claimed the general public were not skilled enough to wear masks correctly. And that will improve with people wearing week old socks? Good lord
We are witnessing the historical incompetence of large government.
It’s funny watching these idiots drive cars wearing masks by themselves.
The CDC is pushing a fake pandemic. Why should we listen to them? Trump, fauci? Wheres their masks?
how come CDC, surgeon general advised people no need to wear mask, mask do not help but harm you then after three weeks later told people should wear mask while the whole World wears mask months ago, so you worry about shortage of mask for doctor and nurse but careless for citizen? is it now your people only knew wuhanvirus can spread person to person? shame and ignorance
Right, cdc advices the use of cloth masks… cloth masks doesnt protect anything lol
Be sheep and wear a mask… u sheeple
Go ahead and wear masks do this virus cam looks like a real threat
CDC needs to make it CLEAR to all that ANYONE working with the elderly patients or patients with special needs or medically fragile patients should NOT BE USING CLOTH MASKS as they don’t protect the patient. Recall that a patient who DOES NOT have covid is at risk FROM THE HEALTHCARE workers coming into their shifts working with them. It’s not the other way around.
Im not Health expert, but my opinion wearing a mask could damage a person’s immune system by preventing their body from fighting off bacteria and viruses in public every day environments. People who are positive/ think they’re positive Shouldn’t where masks either they should just STAY HOME in a well ventilated area that’s the best thing they can do… If COVID-19 positive people wear masks they’ll constantly be breathing in the same air… This will more than likely make reproduction of the virus more rapid and possibly increase the chances of having a severe or fatal outcome! Its common sense…when people get sick the body coughs to try to clear the virus from the lungs wearing a mask prevents the lungs from getting fresh air making a great environment for viral growth….im surprised how many are recomending. believing, and following these guidelines…its almost like we’re being encouraged/guided to put our health at risk and increase the severity of this disease…xD lol I hope I’m not the only 1 that sees what’s going on!
Many idiots wearing masks off the nose. The virus is shed from the nose. Also, fabric is not safe. The warm moisture from the breath collects in front of the nose n mouth and is a magnet for viruses. Also, organic compounds are exhaled in the breath, which is virus food. Surgical masks have a moisture barrier to prevent exhaled moisture and organic compounds from collecting on the mask exterior
People should wear bras for masks. When one cup gets dirty, use the other.😃
