Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), said in an interview with Healthline published Friday that the country can stop the Chinese coronavirus “in its tracks” if everyone wears a mask until more are vaccinated.

Healthline asked the CDC director if she agrees with former CDC director Tom Frieden’s estimation that “we could get to 200,000 new cases a day.”

“I’ve seen modeling data. Some of the modeling data do go up that high. Not all of them do. Do I think it’s possible? Yes, I think it’s possible,” she said.

“What I do want to reiterate, though, is a unified approach as a country would stop this [pandemic] in its tracks. We know what we need to do to stop this virus. It can fall short of many of the things we had to do last year. Do I think we all need to stay home right now? I do not,” she continued before pitching masks as a crucial mitigation strategy.

“But if we are able to get the vast majority of people vaccinated and if, in the meantime until they are fully vaccinated, we had everybody wearing masks, we can stop this in its tracks and really be in a way better place in a relatively short period of time,” she added.

It remains unclear why she believes this action would stop the virus “in its tracks,” given the mass spread of the virus last year, particularly in heavily restricted blue states which had mask mandates in place for months on end.

Seriously considering what "medical experts" (i.e., "political scientists") say, "recommend" and command actually makes a person more stupid, more ignorant, more fearful and far more at risk to any and all things associated with the communist chinese virus.

It's better to ignore completely anything and everything the "medical experts" (i.e., "political scientists") of the CDC, NIH, AMA, WHO and other fear porn organizations say, "recommend" and command. This will cause you to live a happier, healthier and more normal American life. Nearly all if it is politically-motivated lies anyway.
