"Now, in many parts of the country, it does not really feel, really bad right now because it's a little bad everywhere. You do not have areas where it is extremely dense in a region as if we did it when it was an epidemic in New York or the epidemic in the south of the outside of States such as Wisconsin or Iowa. Most states have a lot of spread, but most of the States are not at the point where they are extremely pressed right now. It will change on the next two to three weeks.

We will control the fact that we get vaccines, therapeutics and other mitigation measures." Said Gottlieb in response: "There are things we can do to slow the spread. I mean, a national mask mandate can be put in place. He does not need to be safeguarded with fines or a strict application. We have other requirements that we expect a civil society that we applaud with, you know, Jawboning Political, Leadership. We give people warnings at first. So, I think masks are something We could do. We need to look at targeted attenuation, from closing the gathering parameters where we know that propagation occurs. "

Refuge

"Well, remember that the masks serve two goals. We are protecting others from you. So, if you are asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic, if you have a mask, you are less likely to expel Respiratory droplets that can infect other people. The other goal is to provide you some measure of protection if, in fact, you are around infected people. So, if you want to hide to allow you to protect others from others , Quality issues. A fabric mask may be 10% to 30% protection, a surgical mask, a surgical mask, a procedure mask, a surgical mask, about 60%. An N95 mask or equivalent like A KN95 mask, which is the Chinese equivalent or what we call a FFP2 mask, which is a European equivalent to a N95 that can be 90 to 95% of protection. So, if you want to hide to allow you a level of protection, Wear a quality mask superior. If you can not get a cloth that masks, thickness of things and fabric masks with polyester in them and a combination of polyester and cotton do better. "
