NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins calls political divide over wearing masks to curb the spread of the coronavirus “bizarre,” adding that he does not believe facial coverings are “optional for people who want to protect themselves and people around them.'

Gov. Mike DeWine, R-Ohio, told “Meet the Press” that while he would issue “more orders” this week, stemming the spread of the virus is about more than just mandates for policies like mask-wearing; it requires a full-scale buy-in from a “weary” public.

“It’s not all about orders. Orders are important, but it’s also about getting people to understand: Hey, this is very, very serious and that while we did a great job early on in Ohio, we’re headed in the wrong direction and frankly, I’m very, very concerned.”across the country, as well as increases in the hospitalization and death rates in many states.

“The rest of the country, perhaps imagining this was just a New York problem, kind of went about their business, didn’t really pay that much attention to [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] recommendations about the phases necessary to open up safely and jumped over some of those hoops. And people started congregating, and not wearing masks, and feeling like it's over and maybe summer, it'll all go away,” he said.

Oh and don’t forget required by law OSHA PHYSICAL before wearing PPE to make sure you don’t have a medical condition affected by forcing lungs to work harder when exhale/inhale thru additional layers body isn’t used to do9ng, causing hyper ventilating, raised heart rate, BP

NIH needs to check with regulators cause they wrong. Who regulates Surgical Masks-FDA Who regulates PPE-OSHA Who regulates Filtering Facepiece Respirators (FFR) (NIOSH)

Sue for unlawful medical advice/wrongful death if you get/die from C19 while wearing what told. Items lawfully req to meet OSHA/NIOSH Stds for HAZMAT and WILL BE PROVIDED. No worker/citizen BUYS OWN PPE if Govt/industry requires. All PPE must be properly fitted/users trained

$1M Questions: 1)What is the OSHA approved PPE level for infectious diseases? 2)What level of PPE requires A)Mask/Face covering NOT rated to filter Viral level particulate? B)NO other PPE ensemble items? 3)Diff between Surgical Mask, Face Covering and FFR?

Mask Illogical Delusion. FFR (which AREN’T masks or Face coverings) like your A/C filters, have Micron ratings, the size particle they will filter/stop. Unless your mask,face covering has a micron rating to filter virus level particulates mask wear is misleading OSHA VIOLATION.

Surgical masks will NOT stop aerosolized particles as small as a droplet of influenza virus. C19 particles are 0.1 Microns. N95 Respirator only filters larger than 0.3 Microns. Masks stop bacteria not viruses

Oral Health Journal: Surgical Masks have neither the filter performance or the facial fit to qualify them as being devices which protect against respiratory infections.

21 May 20 NEJM: “Wearing a Mask outside healthcare facilities offers little if any protection from C19 infection..the chance of catching C19 from a passing interaction in public space is therefore minimal.”

What? WHO says don’t wear mask unless sick? Guess we get different news than rest of world. Someone’s lying, betcha it’s the Democrats and media

21 May 20 NEJM: Masks serve symbolic roles to increase health care workers perceived sense of safety, well being and trust in hospitals. US DOL: “Face Coverings, Surgical Masks are not PPE and will not protect wearer from airborne infections or provide adequate filtration.”

It's bizaar that they see ignoring all the data and even their own past statements confirming that mask don't work they are nothing but a tool to sway anxiety. Everything a communist Democrat says is opposite or they are guilty of it.

PaHouseDems Perhaps if FauciTheFraud got anything right - and we had a media that did not politicize EVERYTHING to cause divide - we wouldn’t. We Blame FakeNews and DNC

Why is realDonaldTrump still in office? Trump has literally murdered over 140,000 Americans. Which begs the question why & who is paying him? Putin? MurderInChief This is what the election is about. Trump downplayed, mismanaged & lied about COVID-19.

Why don’t Democrats & Republicans come together & agree on postponing all elections for 1 year due to Covid to ensure no election fraud via mail in ballot And the safety of our citizens? ap cnn fox5newsdc

I don't understand how saving lives (masks) has become political talking points. This should not have been a debate. People are dying. Do what you can to help the situation, not make it worse.

WEARING MASKS IS NOT “OPTIONAL”

For the same reason you cannot legislate morality, is exactly the same reason people won't wear masks! You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink

They’re optional && this virus’ numbers are drastically inflated to blame this man-made disease on Trump, even though it was never his fault in the first place. The money embezzling pedophile TheDemocrats are scared & so is Hollywood — sh1t is about to go off — make popcorn

'Bizarre' Rip your masks off & free yourselves from the chains of your Democrat Masters:

Yet, he won't explain why lockdowns are necessary if masking WORKS.

Magats will tell you the sky is pastel pink if dear leader or OANN says so.

NIH director says wearing masks is not 'optional' to curb pandemic's spreadTop government health expert calls wearing masks a basic "public health action." Cases are meaningless, how many went to the hospital? And why is NO ONE siting that information? How do you keep a mask on the autistic? How do you prevent seniors with dementia from being attacked and harassed? Why are protesters exempt?
