Surgeon General begs Fox News viewers to wear a face mask and insists 'we are not trying to take away your freedoms'

Surgeon General Jerome Adams begged Fox News' audience on Monday to wear face masks to help contain the spread of the coronavirus and to avoid thinking of the health measure as a violation of their rights.

Adams stressed that President Donald Trump has recently said he supports mask-wearing, despite his refusal to implement a federal mask mandate.

"I'm pleading with your viewers, I'm begging you, please understand that we are not trying to take away your freedoms when we say wear a face covering," Adams said during a "Fox and Friends" interview.

He went on, "We are not trying to take away your ability to go out when we say keep restaurant capacity under 50%. We are saying if we do these things, we can actually open and stay open. We can get back to school, to worship, to jobs. We can do this."

It took longer to ask me what that image was than it would take to find it. So, why should people take the medical advice from you?

‘And those droplets are many orders of magnitude larger than the virus.’

as many order of magnitude larger as a dog is to a flea...? you do realize how much larger the smallest dog is compared to the largest flea...? you have any data to back up such a ridiculous analogy...?

Since they shamelessly admit to lying, the logical conclusion is that they lying about lying. The more likely TRUTH is they are using “lying” as an excuse to cover their incompetence and (failing) attempt to embed social control.

I also noticed an odd reaction when I saw the photo of surgeon general. Previously I had no thought about a government executive’s skin color or ethnicity. Well, maybe Chinese. But when I saw this guy’s photo, my immediate involuntary reaction was to identify him with BLM and consider anything he says as having the potential of being false to advance a racial agenda. Why is that? It’s because of what the blacks, leftists, and media have done. They are CREATING racism by their false accusations of racism.

I am hugely enthused with Trump (unlike any other leader in my lifetime)

But I differ with him, on the importance of facemasks.

Maybe it is an east/west thing.

I suspect it is. Way to go though, Trump.

No, they don’t. And neither does forcing people to follow arrows all over a store or ELSE. and whatever other stupid nonsense these jerks come up with.

‘This does not line up with rational human behavior and suggests an ulterior motive.’

if this happened in a non election year, we wouldn’t even be thinking about wearing masks; and those on this forum championing masks know this...

I have only worn one when forced to at work. Never wear one anywhere else until recently, when the government started the hard push to take away our freedoms. Even then, I pull it down so I can breathe as soon as I walk through the doors and take it off as I am walking out.

Guess what? No coronavirus, either.

At work, they decided that we need to wear a shield with the mask or goggle things with your glasses. Evidently, health care doesn’t trust that masks are enough.

Now what do you say?

‘I will wear my mask and hat visor face shield in hopes of lessening the viral load ..’

the question is would you rat me out to a store manager if I don’t do the same...that is what is tearing this country apart...

‘And yes..that is what experts are saying’

‘experts’ are saying many things; things that conflict with each other...which is why we have contentions like these on social media...

so answer my question; if I show up at a store, and have a mask covering only my mouth, and I turn a corner and run into you, with your face shield and covering, are you going to rat me out to the store manager...? because this is how hard feelings are generated, how friendships and just common civility disappears...
