I'm on it.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) said Wednesday that “everyone” should be wearing masks to prevent the transmission of the coronavirus, as states across the country report troubling surges in confirmed cases and hospitalizations.
"The area where I think we have to definitely really surge on is nursing homes, ALFs [assisted living facilities], congregate-living facilities that have a high number of people or obviously populations of people that are high-risk, those are the places where you're really going to cut down the death rate if you can prevent outbreaks ... and that's where I hope we focus both our testing and our prevention effort,” Rubio told reporters after a GOP lunch with Vice President Pence. “And then everyone should just wear a damn mask, like you guys are, like I am right now."
"I would just encourage everyone, that's what I said in there, to sort of become informed of the nuances of how your state is reporting. In Florida, the state tells us 20 percent of the COVID cases that register as hospitalizations are people that are in the hospital for something else, like a knee replacement, but they're tested so they tested positive,” he added.
Florida is one of several states seeing dramatic spikes in the virus. The state broke its own single-day record Wednesday, reporting 5,500 new cases after hitting a previous high of 4,049 cases just four days ago.

I refuse - your move. Push me too hard and and perhaps I’ll start breaking things.
Marco F’n Rubio . . . bite my arse!!!!!
If Rubio believes what he said, then he should demand that (and work toward making) the ChiComs pay for such a pandemic and the death and misery the ChiComs caused. Otherwise his words sound like pompous hypocrisy... or gutless cowardess.
Speak for yourself. My family are ardent Trump supporters and don’t mind what Rubio said. In light of everything else going on, it’s a trivial matter to get upset about.
All women should just wear a damned veil. Because Satan, er, I mean “Allah” commands it.
Do I get a Gold Star too?
It’s not a damn mask! It’s a damn muzzle! Control freak pukes.
Have yet to put one on, and don’t plan on putting one on in the future. There are a few businesses that demand it, so I don’t bother with them as that is their right. Just as it is my right to ignore stupidity and choose to not be a sheep.
Pound sand Marco.
Other than a long overdue hair cut and a visit to a specialist, non-wearer.
Whatever, foam party boy.
I’d rather breath, thanks Little Marco.
Excellent
What about your wife’s nail lady? 8 hours a day in a mask. Does she have low O2 levels?
What about the guy who wears the N95 at the plant? The painters? Do they report issues?
What about the Japanese who have worn them for decades-even when they aren’t sick? Do they have CO2/O2 problems?
Yeah....didn’t think that was the real issue.
