If you’re at high risk of serious illness or death from Covid-19, it’s time to dust off those N95 masks and place them snugly over your nose and mouth to protect yourself from a recent uptick of the virus, according to a growing number of experts.
That advice should go all the way up to 80-year-old President Joe Biden, said Dr. Jonathan Reiner, a cardiologist.
“Octogenarians comprise the highest-risk group for complications following Covid infection,” Reiner said.
positive rapid covid test STOCK As a summer wave of Covid-19 hits the US, questions about vaccines, quarantine and testing are back “At least until the numbers start to drop again, it would be appropriate for President Biden to take some precautions and wear a mask in crowds.”
Other high-risk groups include people with diabetes, cancer, chronic liver, kidney or lung disease, organ or stem cell transplants, HIV or other immunocompromising conditions, a history of heart disease or stroke, dementia or mental health issues.
“If you’re a caregiver for somebody who is at increased risk of complication following infection, then I think you should also consider putting a mask on in public places,” said Reiner, a professor at the George Washington University School of Medicine & Health Sciences.
“And since the masks that are most effective are N95 that are now readily available, that’s the kind of mask you should wear,” he added.

It may be time to G.F.Y.
No.
I am battling COPD due to massive COVID scarring.
I REFUSE.
The only good thing about masks is that it covers the faces of ugly liberal women
Why don’t we just take the news media, the politicians and all the Karens, and lock THEM in basement bunkers with a lifetime supply of masks.
Did I forget food and water? Me bad. Now where did I leave the key?
Come to think of it, I might’ve lost it in that boating accident ....
bwahahahahahaha
Yep, that permanent frown or scowl they sport.
Any medical professional that recommends wearing a mask for a Respiratory Virus should be hit with Thousands of Complaints for Malpractice to the Medical Board and anyone that heard them and believed them should also be able to SUE FOR MALPRACTICE.
How many confirmed deaths from Cold-23?
You have a nice day now.
Electionyearicon.
Doesn’t make any difference......The FDA, CDC, DOJ and CIA are setting up for mandatory masking and many restrictions on travel, schooling and any other controls to counteract the coming Covid out of Canada. It is really another 2020 election all over again to stop Trump from winning in 2024 by ballot harvesting, mail in balloting so the Dems candidate will win by fraudulent vote count.
Masks do not work. democrats just want to control and humiliate us.
>>>>> DITTO <<<<<
NO.
My friend printed me a 10” tall sticker of a mask with that circle and slash over the mask. It’s been on my truck window for almost 2 years. I suspected this might happen so I’ve left it on all this time.
Experts have no standing anymore thanks to Covid.
Its clear masks do nothing. Just as Fauci told us at the outset all those years ago.
Nope.
Now that’s a possible solution a lot of this nation’s problems.
