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."

Expert: Wear a mask and you'll live.*

*Psyche. Sorry, you chose the wrong mask. N95 masks you protect you. False cloth masks will take it from you.

The mask-intimidation hysteria must be at a peak right now.

Worse even than it was month(s) ago when thousands were dying every day, and now the deaths are only a fraction of that.

Guess the Globalists and Leftists sense that they’re losing control over the citizens.

Obey, slave!

Okay.
We are going to put this guy (together with Fauci and his pals) on Elon Musk's Starship to Mars and leave them there permanently.
That way they can put on masks for the rest of their lives and let the rest of us get on with our lives here.
