who cares
Sensible, un-histrionic, Presidential.
Holy Crap, can you imagine a President Clinton during this time of pandemic?
He wore one at the Ford plant in Michigan. As usual NPR is wrong.
Didn’t he wear the same style/type mask, previously, at a factory?
Smart move. Gives the right message, that it’s only the vulnerable that we need to worry about. Yes, I know the story about someone’s frriend’s borther’s roommate who was 35 and healthy as an ox. The real point is that we can reduce risk in high risk situations even if the mask effectiveness is low.
He should have a mask with the POTUS seal on it, GEEZE you would think his team could arrange that!,
They finally owned him. Admit it— we have lost this round.
Only in NPR's whacked leftist world. Doesn't bother me, and I don't cover mine either. So, NPR F-off.
Not the first
Except that a staggering 42% of all coronavirus deaths are in deep blue states of New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts.
Deep red states like South Dakota have had very very few deaths. Republican states are vastly better off.
Trump already put on a mask at that PPE Ford factory a few months back. Nobody has been against putting on masks in hospitals for surgery or around patients who just got wheeled out of surgery.
However putting on masks while out walking in the streets is stupid. It's gonna reduce your oxygen supply and accumulate bacteria in it.
Not impressed.
It’s encouraging, and a good thing. Should have been doing this since the beginning
It’s extremely unfortunate that masks and the response to covid19 became about politics in the first place. For some reason he took it as if it was a political thing against him so had to pretend it was not really a thing
Just wear a mask or whatever we need to do to get this over with so we can get started again
And...its bulletproof!
Like the John Wick clothes.
What is their point? I work in a hospital, and I wear a mask. And I get the vaccinations. I’ll do what my employer asks me to do.
Because when people are sick, they don’t come to my hospital to catch an illness and die. It is my job to do that, and I do it without reservation. If I can keep one person who comes through our door healthier by doing the things asked of me, I will do it.
And these military personnel who may be there (although I thought Walter Reed had closed-I spent a good number of nights outside there with the Free Republic DC Chapter counterprotesting the Code Pink scum) deserve that from their Commander in Chief the way my patients deserve it from me. It is a hospital.
Outside the hospital environment, I feel differently about this. I believe it should be left up to an individual to wear a mask outside or not. No questions asked. Their decision.
If a store requires a mask, you can choose to shop there or go somewhere else. Your choice.
If you are someone who has co-morbidities, you take precautions to protect yourself. You quarantine yourself if you feel you need to. Your choice.
This isn’t the plague with a 40% mortality rate. It is foolish to treat it as such.
This mask wearing bs is just window dressing. And I don’t mean this as a knock at the president. I mean no one has any idea what good wearing a mask does. Fauci himself admitted he lied about it’s effectiveness.
What’s the point of wearing a mask standing at the podium?
Out in a social setting meet and greet, yes.
I laugh at seeing these reporters wearing masks on camera. Protecting the audience? Nope. Perception. ‘Me Too!’
Wore it like a boss. Never thought anyone would look good, but dang, Trump pulled it off.
