America's coronavirus deaths could surpass 511,000 by the end of February. According to Business Insider, the staggering number comes from a new University of Washington model. The model also found that nearly 130,000 of those lives could be saved if 95% of Americans wore masks. The problem officials found is that only 60% of Americans say they always wear a mask in public. Researchers found that mask-wearing could also delay the need for lockdowns. According to Business Insider, health experts say that wearing masks could also mitigate the worst of the fall-winter surge.

The U.S. CDC on Friday released guidance encouraging the use of face masks at all times. Based on evidence from studies of the protective effects of masks, the CDC recommends "universal use of face masks". Compelling evidence shows the benefits of cloth face masks to prevent people with COVID-19 from spreading it. Masks also serve as an effective barrier to prevent people without the coronavirus from contracting it. Research indicates that face coverings block up to 80% of the fine respiratory droplets. These respiratory droplets can spread COVID-19 if people infected with the virus don't take precautions.
