As the COVID-19 pandemic spread across the country, it created a critical shortage of face masks. To help protect workers in essential services across the country, GM launched a rapid-response project to produce masks at scale on 20 March. Seven days later, the team had produced its first sample on the new production line. By next week, GM expects to deliver its first 20,000 masks to frontline workers.
Business Insider reports the White House said, "we are not going to control the pandemic." However, Dr. Anthony Fauci disagrees and fresh scientific evidence is on his side. The evidence shows we already have the tools at our disposal to get the virus under control. Fauci told JAMA on Wednesday that universal mask-wearing "really, really does" make a difference. This backed up a recent article he and his colleagues wrote regarding masks. However, mask-wearing needs to be nationally mandated and worn above the nose to work.
As coronavirus cases surge worldwide, Russia has introduced a national mask mandate. Citizens must wear masks in public places, including parking garages, elevators, and public transportation. Business Insider reports research has shown that masks prevent coronavirus transmission. The US has yet to issue a nationwide mask mandate, though public-health officials suggest it. Anthony Fauci has recently called for one once again, but Trump is yet to call for it. Global COVID cases have hit record daily highs, with the highest numbers coming from the US.
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is blaming himself for getting CoronaVirus. Christie caught the virus at a White House Rose Garden event for the nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett. In an interview with the New York Times Christie said he was "wrong" not to wear a mask to the event. Christie along with a number of other attendees and other White House officials later tested positive for COVID-19. In the interview Christie detailed his experience since his COVID-19 diagnosis. You should follow CDC guidelines in public no matter where you are and wear a mask to protect yourself and others."
