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.

Rubio, you can eat &*(^.
Gads, I really really REALLY hate Democrats.
Liberals - your time for testing is hopefully very near.
I hope to enjoy watching you and your like suffer.
Greatly.
Hey Marco up yours!
Amazing how many people don’t follow the science and ineffectiveness of wearing masks. He’s panicking.
Thanks Marco, but maybe you could have piped up before your state was looking at an explosion in cases.
—I’ll put aside the irony of having a male stripper ‘allegedly’ telling other people to cover up.
Forget it. They do no good, in this heat they’re probably lethal to the wearer, and they’re just a sign of submission.
Whatever, Bubble Boy.
No
This thing wants to be President.
soapboy will decide?
his demand makes Americans inquire:
what was HIS role in this Atrocity?
directly with PeloXi?
or FauXi?
Yes let’s all pick on Marco Rubio while the Democrats are ravaging the country.
THIS is why Biden, Pelosi and Schumer are poised for the trifecta. They don’t eat their own.
Please let’s focus.
Little gay boy just likes masks.
“Everyone should just wear the Star of David”
Blue Pill much, Marco?
nah
Perhaps he can join In-Justice Roberts for a Maltese bubble bath.
Rubio has really turned out to be quite the RINO.
JoMa
He’s a total POS. God willing a STRONG contender arises that runs against him.
Will that include an enclosed bubble?
