In his first official press briefing on the coronavirus pandemic since April, President Trump on Tuesday admitted that the public health crisis is likely to worsen as cases surge across the country and asked all Americans to wear masks in public.
While Trump hailed his administrations response to the pandemic and the work toward developing a vaccine, he bluntly disclosed what many Americans already know: that the crisis is likely to spread more before it can be contained.
It will get worse before it gets better, Trump said of the pandemic that has infected close to 4 million Americans. Thats something I dont like saying but it is.
Trumps comments come after weeks where he either downplayed the virus continued spread or focused on other issues from unrest over racial injustice in American cities to the removal of Confederate statues despite cases of COVID-19 surging, particularly, in parts of the south and southwest.
Noting the concerns among many of his supporters that facial coverings impinge on their personal freedoms, Trump pleaded with Americans to wear masks out in public to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
Were asking everybody when youre not able to socially distance to wear a mask, Trump said.

Bad information from our germaphobe President.

Besides, “positive cases!” are PCR tests, which cannot distinguish between live virus from an infected person, and dead fragments from a recovered (immune!) person. People can test positive for WEEKS after recovery.

All this “positive cases!” are completely misleading. If asymptomatic, positive cases indicate IMMUNITY. Up to 80% positive tests in FL are asymptomatic. We’re counting immune people and calling them Positive Cases.
Inside public buildings I will wear a mask. But if I’m going for a walk with no intention to enter a public building, I refuse to wear a mask.
I dont understand why Trump has not called out how the books are being cooked. And they are being cooked.
Because among three million + cases the variances are insignificant.
The situation in the US is the worst in the world - by far - and a price is going to be paid.
You are welcome. After the 1976 Swine Flu vaccine debacle, that killed or disabled so many soldiers, sailors and civilians, I have been very leery of any ‘rushed to market’ vaccine that the government mandates.
Is that the one Gates said could have 700,000 'victims'?
Oh my God! Covid killed Kenny! You Bastard!
Of course it will getr worse....Fauci quarantined WELL people. Now the WELL people are out. They would have gotten through this much earlier. Clever plan Dr. Fauci.

‘Might as well make Biden POTUS now and get the takeover completed.’
please don’t say things like that; you’ll be flamed unmercifully...
He's just playing with the Dems.
‘These people circle just like vultures, waiting for something that he said that they can spin, exploit, twist, hide, distort, and lie.’
but now that Trump said this, they won’t do that, right...?
If wearing a mask & socially distancing makes us safe, then voting in person is safe. Watch how fast Dems say masks don't work.— Lisa Mei Crowley 🇺🇲 (@LisaMei62) July 21, 2020
Agree....And how long will it be good for. Fauci said maybe just a month to 3 months. So this isn’t like polio or measles or small pox. It’s like and annual flu shot....which is always a guess and the benefit could be close to “0”.
I am not convinced he is speaking of the disease itself. It is the CRISIS that will get worse, the mandates, the rules, what the leftists are doing, the rioting, etc. I agree on that point. The MSM will whip this thing into a greater frenzy.
Exactly, Miss Didi! :)
“Not worth debating over masks. I think it helps a little bit.”
Masks aren’t about the virus. Masks never have been about the virus.
Were asking everybody when youre not able to socially distance to wear a mask,
which is exactly the same thing Tom Wolf says, and gets grilled by you (and I)for it...
Same here. I am not putting the thing on until my foot is about to enter a publicly used building.
