Trump says coronavirus crisis will ‘get worse before it gets better,’ pleads with Americans to wear masks
Fox News ^ | 7/27/2020 | Andrew O'Reilly

Posted on 07/21/2020 5:01:47 PM PDT by VictoryGal

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 administration’s 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. “That’s something I don’t like saying but it is.”

Trump’s 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.

“We’re asking everybody when you’re not able to socially distance to wear a mask,” Trump said.

Bad information from our germaphobe President.

https://www.technocracy.news/masks-are-neither-effective-nor-safe-a-summary-of-the-science/

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.

http://m.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20200429000724

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 don’t 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.

Bill Gates has been testing the vaccine for years.

Is that the one Gates said could have 700,000 'victims'?

The question is.....How long does this mask sh** and distancing go on?

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.

“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.

“We’re asking everybody when you’re 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.
