Fox News host Chris Wallace moderated the first chaotic, shambolic presidential debate between President Donald Trump and opponent Joe Biden. Now, Business Insider reports Wallace says he was 'pissed off' by the behavior of Trump's family entourage. Upon being seated at the debate, Trump family members had removed their masks, violating agreed-upon debate rules. After I had the luxury to think about it, I was pissed off. I mean, did they think that the rules that applied to everybody else didn't apply to them? Chris Wallace Interview with The Washington Post Forty-eight hours after the debate, the president tested positive for COVID-19, as did first lady Melania Trump.
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.
