Marc Perrone, president of America’s largest food and retail union, United Food and Commercial Workers International Union, which represents 1.3 million workers, said the companies' actions are"not nearly enough to turn the tide as COVID-19."
"Across the country, every governor and mayor must step up and make masks mandatory at all supermarkets and retail stores," Perrone said in a statement."Without universal mask mandates that are fully enforced nationwide, hundreds of thousands of Americans will continue to get sick and die. We cannot wait any longer."
This week's announcement starting rolling out a day after Dr. Robert Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said if the American public were to embrace masking now the pandemic could be"If we could get everybody to wear a mask right now, I really do think over the next 4-6-8 weeks, I really think we can bring this under control," he said in an interview Tuesday with the editor-in-chief of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
42.9 million people got sick during the 2018-2019 flu season, 647,000 people were hospitalized and over 60,000 died. This year was supposed to be one of the deadliest flu seasons yet, where did these numbers go? Why weren’t we all wearing masks then?

Corporations had to make decisions the WH did not have the courage to. After dithering for months, DJT decided to ignore people dying and sends out the VP to say nice,wonderful words that have no bases in reality. To reinforce this non reality they stop the data flow.
