"You know I would like us to get rid of the term masking because, in fact, it implies that all that puts you in front of your face work, and if I could just add a nuance to what, hopefully, Not adding more confusion is we know today that a lot of face fabric covers that people wear are not very effective at reducing one of the movements of viruses in or outwards, "A- he said.

Osterholm has rather argued that people are starting to use the right type of mask that can properly slow the spread of the virus. "We have to talk about better masking," he said. "We have to talk about N95 respirators, which would do a lot for the two people who are not yet vaccinated or who are not already infected. Protect them as well as other people who may be infected with been vaccinated to breathe the virus."

Osterholm is not the first expert atDefender of UPP Upgrade. During an appearance on CBS 'Face the nation On July 25,Scott Gottlieb, MD, former Commissioner at the Food & Drug Administration (FDA), argued thatThe good quality mask was necessary to protect against a strain as contagious as the Delta variant.

"It's not more airborne and it's no more likely to be permeable to a mask. A mask can be helpful," said GottliebJohn Dickerson. "I think if you're going to consider wearing a mask, the quality of the mask imports. So, if you can get your hands onA KN95 mask or N95 mask, it will allow you a lot more protection. "

But while the good type of mask will go far to help prevent the spread of COVID, Osterholm also clogged the current state of the communication of civil servants, saying that continue to deploy gunshots to the public would be the best way to put end at the end of the pandemic. "We are in a very unfortunate situation, [and] we really brought this country to a confusion point that really lacks the main point we should focus on the vaccine, the vaccine, the vaccine," he said. declared.
