Coronavirus expert says Americans will be wearing masks for ‘several years’

Health experts won’t ask Americans to take off their masks any time soon.

That’s the take of Eric Toner, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security. He has been preparing for an outbreak like the novel coronavirus as part of his work for years.

“I think that mask wearing and some degree of social distancing, we will be living with — hopefully living with happily — for several years,” he said. “It's actually pretty straightforward. If we cover our faces, and both you and anyone you're interacting with are wearing a mask, the risk of transmission goes way down.”

Dr. Anthony Fauci, a top official handling the U.S. COVID-19 response, said recently he was cautiously optimistic that there could be a vaccine for the virus by 2021.

For those who refuse to wear a mask in the interim, Toner said they’ll eventually wise up.

“They will get over it," he says. "It's just a question of how many people get sick and die before they get over it."

I don’t know about that. Even Trump is squishy on the isse of masks.

When is the last time any of us have seen Trump wearing a mask?

That is not be squishy when Potus doesn’t wear a mask in public and at his rallies.

“When is the last time any of us have seen Trump wearing a mask?”

Did I SAY Trump has ever worn a mask?

JULY 1, 2020 on Fox:
“Trump on Wednesday claimed ‘I’m all for masks’ and ‘would have no problem’ wearing one in public.”
