President Donald Trump said Thursday his administration will soon release nationwide recommendations on wearing face masks after initially telling Americans they weren't necessary to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
But a top health adviser on his team strongly cautioned that masks should not lull Americans into a false sense of security that would lead them to abandon social distancing guidelines.
Speaking at a White House task force briefing, Trump said the new guidance would stop short of requiring all Americans to wear face coverings.
"I don't think they'll be mandatory because some people don't want to do that," he said, adding that Americans who do want to wear face coverings can "decide for themselves."

I originally thought that as well. I even thought people would start revolting after just a couple weeks, but after watching the number of people cowering in fear, I think they can carry this as long as they want. The threat of $1000.00 fines will inhibit many who would defy, and because the rest are hiding, it is easier to enforce. This has caused me to lose a ton of faith in humanity. People who believe they can’t make good decisions on their own, but blindly trust bureaucrats, who of course only think of others.
If they want me to wear a mask, they damn well better issue me one. A whole bunch of ‘em, in fact.
Please stay where you are. America will do just fine without you.
Your opinion.
You can likewise.
Just saying.
Can’t see it happening in the States / lockerooms, swim teams, and college dorms/dorm showers?
Im in favor of the messures now, but if we are in late may people are going to have had it. Mabey by mid may.
“You can likewise.”

I don’t have any of that vietnamese shit in my tagline.
Just saying.
I’m not, anymore.
I am here in Vietnam, currently.
But I am American, and have been a Freeper since 2005.
One of the very first here at this site, to support Donald Trump, as our president-to-be.
Got another complaint?
Go ahead.
Now we won’t even be able to give them a smile.
In some regards i’m sure it will be a blessing.
As was being discussed by a doctor on the Fox News Channel today, people don’t wash their hands or properly. Then their dirty hands touch their mask, mouth and eyes. Or their hands or dirty mask touch their mouths or eyes when they are taking the mask on and off. And they end up making themselves sick. I’ll avoid wearing a mask for now.
Found some on Amazon...Made in USA...due on the 7th.
keep your goggles on!
They aren’t going tp school this year in most of the country.
OK, Sourpuss.
But I have them, just in case.
Bingo
Yes. Steampunk masks seem to be the way to go, and they are surprisingly affordable.
They were talking today about making a mask out of a scarf.
I’m not kidding.
they’ve been saying for weeks that there are no masks, stores are empty, chinese masks are failing, so where in the hell is the public supposed to get these masks ? They going to buy some from the guy in china that shines his shoes with them?
