'STOP BUYING MASKS': US Surgeon General and VP say masks won't help fight coronavirus even as demand for emergency supplies increases

that there was no need for people in the US to buy and wear masks to protect themselves from COVID-19.

At a press conference Saturday, Trump and Pence, joined by other administration officials, spoke about"The president mentioned masks," Pence said. "This morning we talked a great deal about additional medical supplies. Let me be very clear, and I'm sure the physicians who are up here will reflect this as well.

Pence cited the president's decision at the beginning of February to bar all foreign nationals from China as one of the major reasons that US citizens did not have to worry about the virus.

Just for that, I bought 3 more 3M A1P2 P95 respirators. Surgeon_General can kiss it. That's like asking people stuck in a sunken submarine to stop breathing so realDonaldTrump can live longer. NO DEAL! coronavirus SARSCoV2 covid19

They stop you from touching your face. So that is a good thing. That’s how it enters your body most of the time.

SoraxEnigma Cap... niggas want them for themselves 😭

Yeah remember it was safe to go back into ground zero don’t listen to those clowns do what you feel is safe and right for you and your loved ones specially a trump appointee

Now he tells us? Did he just Google it? Trump administration incompetence, ladies and gentlemen. When they said less government, they really meant it.

Trump & Pence realized that USA will run out of masks, hence it will be bad for 2020 campaign. Asking public no to buy is to avoid fiasco

CDCgov With this administration, it’s ALL LIES and CORRUPTION!! Show us the FACTS and maybe you can establish some credibility!! If you are subservient to the trumpclown, you are lost!

STOP BUYING MASKS! THEY ARN'T EFFECTIVE! WE NEED MORE MASKS, WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF MASKS!

If masks won’t help, then why does the CDC recommend that caregivers & people who are infected wear them? They can’t all obtain the N95 version which are in short supply.

Wearing a surgical mask may not reduce my chance of being infected, but if everyone wore a surgical mask, then the likelihood of spreading virus would decrease.

This is horrible advice and there is plenty of peer reviewed research to the contrary. Why are the doctors wearing masks then? Why is wearing masks required in every bio-containment protocol there is is?

No, fake news. They are needed for sick people to wear.

Get a shemagh. The war is over. Shemaghs are on fire sale.

Trevornoah you see this bro?

The website of the US Surgeon General has NOTHING on the coronavirus, not even a link.

The infection will get scared of your bodacious attitude

they do work. They help stop it from the person wearing it spreading it

Imma go right ahead and buy some masks
