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.

Surgical masks are not designed to keep out aerosol droplets. They are designed to keep your surgeon or nail girl or other wearers from spreading larger droplets and to keep the environment sterile or sanitized. They are also not worn all the time but only when their use is called for.
As for respirators. Those are designed to keep a person from breathing in small aerosol particles such as found in certain vapors. They also are not worn all the time. But there can certainly be adverse health effects if worn for an extended period of time.
Agreed, but I thought it was nice to see all those drops in reported new cases instead of more spiking. In Colorado our heavy spike period lasted 6 days, and that includes 3 days of falling cases after the peak.
Except for Florida, they went up a lot.
I hope the peaks are as short in these states as they have been in most others. We’ll know in a week.
Micro Rubio still wants to give his friends across the aisle a permanent majority with amnesty for illegal aliens.
“Face diapers. Must wear.”
If we are talking about liberals, that suddenly makes sense!
Micro Rubio is not a natural born citizen.
He was born a Cuban national from his Cuban national parents.
The reason we’re seeing the (expected) increase is because we keep shielding people with masks, (anti)-social “distancing” (which actions are ineffective for the most part anyway), and forced house arrest. By implementing and expanding these damnable commands we’re not “stopping the spread” of the Chinese flu, we’re just prolonging it (and slowing down the economic and social recovery, and maintaining an increasingly irrational level of fear, distrust and anger among American citizens as well) ... no doubt prolonging “the spread” and the ongoing “need” for the Democrat/Left governors’ diktats right up to the first Tuesday in November!
Have you heard about electrostatic forces?
The very most real issue is tyranny and government control. They’re seeing just how gullible we really are.
Oh, That is excellent! I’m saving that.
Climb into one of these if that's what grabs ya.
Rubio can go to hell. Never will he ever receive support from me. Period. Just an asshat RINO.
Marco shut and drink your water, you are a small small man.

Rubio can stop anytime with his pandering to the Leftists.
Rubio should spend more time listening to Gov Ron DeSantis press conferences where the governor says that every resident in these facilities have been tested and if the resident refuses then that is so noted.
Well, if ya don’t spit, cough, and sneeze on people, ya don’t need em.
Mandatory masking in the EU - enforced via fines in the hundreds of dollars per incident - has coincided with death counts and new cases coming down significantly. In the Orient (i.e. South Korea, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore & Taiwan), almost universal masking seems also to have coincided with low case and death counts, which were never high to begin with. Their per capita death numbers from the Wuhan Flu are literally less than 1/10 of US levels. And their approach so far has been almost no lockdowns, but mandatory masking.
“””This petty sniping on the right helps Democrats win.”””
You are misled. RINO’s like Marco Rubio get into office because too many Republicans do not fully vet the candidate.
Ok useless mask wearing lemming..
Follow the herd.
Be a part of the mass hysteria and FEEL GOOD! that you are contributing to our collective well being!
