I have felt that wearing a mask (like the surgical one pictured) is at least some protection if you came around someone with the virus...it certainly can’t hurt....it has been stated by many to please wear a mask ....Dr.Fauci has pleaded with us Americans to please wear some kind of face mask or covering....social distance, length of time and proximity in crowded areas....hand washing..

And for myself, some hope that things will get better.

Dr. Gregory Poland explains why:
