and my office have consistently recommended against the general public wearing masks as there is scant or conflicting evidence they benefit individual wearers in a meaningful way," Adams wrote on Twitter.
Facial coverings must also be changed and washed often. And if a mask gets wet, even from the moisture emitted when a person exhales, the fabric could be more likely to transmit the virus. "Once the mask becomes moist, you don't want to touch your face or the mask because you have to assume it's contaminated," Poland said. Handmade masks can be laundered appropriately in regular home washing machines, he added.Perhaps the biggest concern for changing facial covering guidelines is that the public might stock up on masks meant for people who are sick and health care workers.
To be clear, the guidelines would not apply to surgical or N95 masks, which are in short supply in the U.S., and should be reserved for"people on the front lines, the doctors and nurses and transporters who are there to save our lives," Dr. Thomas Frieden, former head of the CDC, told MSNBC on Tuesday.The federal coronavirus task force will reportedly discuss changing public recommendations for facial coverings late Tuesday.

I will continue to follow the advice of Mayor De Blasio and visit my favorite spots. Hell, even Fauci said I should be more worried about the seasonal flu. No masks or “social distancing” needed.
It ain't rocket science, just basic fluid dynamics!
The rich have had time to get theirs?
In Japan, Taiwan and now the Czech Republic they say: “Your mask protects me and my mask protects you”. Some Asian countries found it easier to wear masks rather than others.
Never made sense not to wear a mask!
