The U.S. Surgeon General says the battle against the coronavirus can take a turn for the better if the American people do their part. Appearing on CBS' “Face The Nation,” a masked up Dr.Jerome Adams urged folks to follow basic public health guidelines which include wearing a mask.
He noted that doing so can help turn the tide over the next two to three weeks based on how long it takes the virus to appear. Adams insisted the country is in a better place than earlier this year and that we're better able to respond to the virus.
Someone getting – or at least supporting – the message? President Trump himself, it would seem. Trump was seen wearing a mask in public for the first time since the pandemic began over the weekend while touring the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. He has refused to wear one in the past.
