What's this?

That’s a no from me, dawg

Bottom line is masks work. They’re not a fail safe — they’re not P100 respirators — but it’s hugely valuable if everyone is wearing one. If everyone in this country wore a mask every single time they left their house for the next 4 weeks, this virus would be under control. We might even get college sports back soon. That’s not a big ask, and the President has a loyal following of people. Him showing that it’s a good idea does matter.
