Top government health expert calls wearing masks a basic "public health action."
WASHINGTON — Dr. Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health, called the political divide over wearing masks to curb the spread of the coronavirus “bizarre” in an interview on"Meet the Press" Sunday, adding that he does not believe facial coverings are “optional for people who want to protect themselves and people around them."
Twenty-eight states, and the District of Columbia, now require masks outside the home to slow the virus’ spread. “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.”
Between Monday and Friday, France averaged 455 new daily coronavirus cases, Germany averaged 408 new daily cases, Italy averaged 182 new daily cases and America averaged 69,060 new daily cases, according to figures from the World Health Organization. “And now here we are, not only with 70,000 new cases almost every day, but from my perspective also, quite concerning the number of hospitalizations, which is very close to being as high in the country as it was in, back in April. So, yeah, we got to really double down here.”
