first it was wear a mask, don't wear a mask, protect others. it is now becoming clear. it protects you and it protects others. we firmly believe that we should standardize masks which will enhance wearing because people will believe me. it has science behind it that it does. while we're waiting for that pushing of standardization that we're going to be pushing with the president-elect administration, the wall with pushing for that, i would just -- you guys know either a surgical or if you want it to be pretty -- and i want my mask to be pretty -- high thread count, at least two ply. >> if there was any take away, the quality of the mask, what it's made of and the fact that it protects yourself from the virus itself. so many thanks to you, mr. monica gandhi for joining us. we'll try to get to more questions in the commercial break. thank you. from local closures to national headlines we're going to get into everything related to covid-19 with dr. patel. reminder, we're taking a how about poor fred wilson? what a shame. so soon after retiring. i hear his wife needed help

because of the shortage of masks, we did not recommend that everyone wear a mask. weave said, back then, if knew then what we know now, we would have been recommending. so she said, did i ever admit that was not the best thing? about 1000 times. let's move onto the next question. she is suggesting that we are thatuggesting strongly people wear masks that is the message that i and my colleagues on the coronavirus task force and virtually every responsible medical professional right now is talking about the importance of wearing masks. there are five things we talk about -- universal wearing of masks, keeping physical distance, avoiding crowds and congregate settings, particularly indoors, doing things preferentially outdoors as opposed to indoors, and washing your hands frequently. so i am not sure what she says we are not emphasizing sunday. that is what is happening at the airports. kpoint friday through sunday. that is what is happening at the airports. wearing of masks. host: do you think people will be wearing masks into late 2021 and early 2022? guest: there w

we know that masks work. they are the easiest, most cost-effective way to limit the spread of covid-19. employee has the right to work in an environment that is as safe as can be, which means all customers must wear masks. goeser, each ohioan who out to shop, wherever they go, they have the right to know that every store that they enter, every door they go into to shop, will be safe. that the people they encounter in that store will all be wearing a mask. mask order was issued on july 23 and in fact says just that. orderwe will reissue the with three additional provisions. one, each business will be required to post a face covering requirement sign at all public entrances to the store. two, each store will be responsible for ensuring that customers and employees are wearing masks. forming a new retail compliance unit comprised of agents led by the bureau of worker's compensation. they will be inspecting to ensure compliance of that mask order. a first violation of the order will bring about a written warning.

one person is wearing masks said quote people wearing masks that helps even more. >>now it's 6 a major update from the cdc on mask guidance this time, giving americans yet another reason that why everyone should wear a face covering to try to prevent the spread of covid-19 thank you for joining us at 6 o'clock everybody. i'm grant lotus and i'm vicki liviakis infectious disease experts from stanford university and elsewhere. our police that their counterparts at the cdc are finally getting behind the idea of universal mask-wearing kron four's rob fladeboe reports on the newly revised mask recommendations and what universal use could be in for our economy and the need for lock doubts. >>the center for disease control and prevention now says masks benefit the wearer the announcement is in line with the data that has been available all along so stanford university infectious disease expert doctor robert siegel and basically you know mask-wearing makes sense from a logical standpoint it makes sense from you know in terms >>studies on you know physical transmission part

some mayors issued mask orders in these hotspots. mask wearing in those areas went up dramatically, and as a result, cases dropped dramatically. we are now seeing a third spike. but this time, things are much different. we have been warned when it got colder and drier and people are indoors more, the virus would rise up again. it certainly has. this surge is much more intense, widespread, and dangerous. as of today, every single one of our 88 counties has a high rate of virus spread. areas of our state that were previously untouched, our rural areas, are being hit especially hard. let's look at the numbers. at the end of september, we were averaging under 1000 cases per day. today we report our second-highest number of cases at nearly 5900 cases. while yesterday we reached the highest number yet of over 6500 cases. i know that some say the only reason we are seeing more cases is because we are doing more testing. well, we are doing more testing. we are very happy abot -- happy about it. while testing has not even doubled, cases have

but she left masks wide, exceptions for churches and schools, mask mandates or rules she put in effect are riddled with holes as well. if you go into a public space and are there for less than 15 minutes and you can stay six feet from people, you don't have to wear a mask. if there more than 15 minutes, too close to people, then you do have to wear a mask. public health officials here are in shock. they feel it is too little too late. her own board of health, iowa board of health, members that she appointed last week in a 7-2 vote urged her to put in a statewide mask mandate and that still hasn't been done. meanwhile, you have not only cases exploding but hospitalizations. a month ago, less than 500 iowans in hospitals with covid-19. today, that number is triple. about 1500 across iowa, going up everywhere. small towns and big cities in iowa all across the board. what's happening is the entire system is starting to fill up. we're doing a story you'll see later today, lots of cases coming in, they can't care, don't have the resources, nurses, the ability, don't have the stuff to take ca

masks are critical in doing that. it won't be forever, but that is how we will get our nation back up to speed economically, so we can go back to celebrating birthdays and holidays again. so we can attend sporting events. so we can get back to the lives and connections we shared before the pandemic. it does not matter whether or not we always agree with one another, it does not matter who you voted for, we are americans and our country is under threat. we are called to do the same thing that generations of proud americans have done in the face of crisis throughout our history, rise above to defend the strength and vitality of our nation. that is the character of patriots. that is the character of america. we have to do this together. wearing a mask may seem like a small act. maybe you think your individual choice won't make any difference. through our history, we have seen over and over how small acts add up to enormous achievements. it is the weight of many small acts together that bend the arc of history. you know,

covid is wearing a mask. the head of the cdc warned us this fall that for the foreseeable future, a mask remains the most potent weapon against the virus. today's news does not change that urgent reality. i will not quit until january 20th but my message to everyone is this: it doesn't matter who you voted for or whether you who stood before election day. it doesn't matter your party, point of view. we can save tens of thousands of lives if everyone would just wear a mask for the next few months. not democrat or republican lives, american lives. you know, maybe we could save the life of a person who stocks the shelves at the local grocery store. maybe save the life of a member of your place of worship. maybe save the lives of one of your children's teacher. maybe save your life. so please, i am implore you to wear a mask. do it for yourself. do it for your neighbor. a mask is not a political statement, but it is a good way to start putting the country together. i want to be very clear, the goal of mask wearin

the masks, hearing so much about the masks sort of disappoints me. feel like there is surely more to it than this, then just as simple as the masks. i am not saying that is all there is to it, but we put so much emphasis on this idea of a mask. at the end of a day, there will always be people in society who are just not going to wear that mask. another caller said that previously. whether just to be spiteful or some other reason. you will find the same thing with the vaccine. none of these things will be -- end all,, be all be all. christophers from in maine, writing that governor mills is doing a fantastic job. unfortunately, mask wearing has become a heated clinical issue, as it has elsewhere. some still think it is the flu, which science is ruled out. says in kentucky, governor beshear is doing everything he can do, but this is a trump state. no one here will wear a mask. half my family has covid because they have to work for a living. north carolina, teresa, good morning. what grade would you give your governor? caller: an a+. governor cooper has

handshaking are masks. if you look to the recent past, sars and mers, mostly asian countries that were hard hit and developed cultural patterns with mask wearing have done better in this current pandemic. let's say in the u.s. abroad or western society, what is likely to endure now having come through this? if you look back to 1918 and 1919, one thing i alluded to but did not really mention, partly it's because i'm a sports fan, so i add some good sports and there, but partly because it reflects kind of cultural patterns and behaviors that are international or transnational. the king of spain, how fans of the 13th, one of the things he missed most was soccer. so he commissioned in 1920 a new football club that becomes real madrid. you see coming out of the pandemic a lot of people miss collective large gatherings and they want to create space for that. partly those memorials to world war i that become large coliseum's four football teams are a product of that experience of sheltering and worrying about crow

our first session of new member orientation covered covid in congress, masks, masks, masks.udly told my freshman class that masks are oppressive, in georgia we work out, shop, go to restaurants, go to work and school without masks. she says my body, my choice. quote, #free your face. john, to remind viewers, wearing a mask is important to protect not just yourself but others in case you're asymptomatic, carrying the virus, a place like the capital with members on the house side, people are crowded in elevators, close spaces on the floor, committee hearings, that's why there are rules to prevent the spread of the virus. already a number of members have been infected, that caused the speaker to put in rules requiring masks to be worn. in a sense on the capitol, there are no rules requiring it, but virtually every member but rand paul, the rest of them do wear a mask. margery taylor green making it clear she as incoming freshman is opposed to the rules. see if she listens when sworn in in january. >> other rules republicans have complained about, are they enforced? >> they're s

court cases, barbershops, they have masks. masks inside for barbershops in cincinnati. farther in the fall, people don't want to be outside in the cold and that is part of why we worry about what a second wave will look like, but masks and other distancing can help in that is something they were pursuing. classes were being held outside in 1919, that is a physics class being held adjacent to a football stadium or outdoor sports and rec facility. i can't imagine we professors want to do outdoor classes but anything is possible to minimize the spread in that is what you saw in trying to get back to some level of normalcy in 1918. trips on a ship watching a staged boxing match, also all in masks. this was an important moment, there was buy-in from the armed forces and other agents of the government. there was lots about information that i would love to talk about, i'm trying to give you a quick walk through this. one of my favorites is this, the flu travels to the mouthpiece of the telephone. not me so much. continuous smoking ought to start the flu. this gets to a more se

murty. >> so masks benefit the person wearing the mask as well as the person around them. was a time earlier on that the message many people were getting is that masks only protect the people around you but they don't afford you any protection. that is not the case. we now know that actually the mask can help everyone. so there's really no reason for us from a public health perspective to hold back on recommending masks. this is something that, again, we don't want to wait until it's too late to implement mask mandates. we're seeing some states do it now in the midst of this extraordinary surge, but, really, this is a policy we should have in place everywhere because it saves lives. >> and, you know, dr. roy, let me play for you the south dakota governor again, kristi noem, because she has been one of the most recalcitrant of governors in the entire country when it comes to mask mandates. take a listen. >> let me tell you, my people are happy. they're happy because they're free. the governor in nebraska, pete ricketts, kim reynolds and iowa and i have been making decisions

effective but is a mask more than just a mask yes sometimes it can be a symbol of a threat to a person's autonomy and so the people who are hard core anti masters also object to going into lockdown they're also empty faxes and at least in north america they tend to be politically conservative now $36.00. downing is always down to. consequences do we understand at this point what. percentage of people may have. this new reality. how many people as. being. an example of this need. any every year this is a hugely important question at the moment we don't know we can assess how anxious or distressed people are at one point in time but that anxiety changes over time depending on for example the prevalence of infection once community so we don't know it's done previous research we were guessing 10 or 15 percent of people might have psychological problems that persist but that's a question that we need further research to properly and so when also depend on the . duration of such matters and that's a lot. younger people. simply. the generation indeed could have an effect a longer look down last

so handshaking or masks. you look to the recent past, sars immersed, mostly asian countries hard-hit and developed a culture pattern of mask wearing they have done better in this current pandemic. so that's -- what then the u.s. or modern western society is likely to do now? and you look back to 1918, one thing alluded to but didn't mention and i'm a sports fan so i add good sports in there and that's fun to see, but partly because it reflects partly culture patterns or behaviors that are international or transnational. so the king of spain, alfonzo xiii, one of the things he missed most was soccer. so he commissioned in 1920 a new football club that becomes real madrid. you see coming out of the pandemic a lot of people missed collective, large gatherings and they want to create space for that. partly those memorials to world war i that have become large coliseums for football teams, baseball teams, they are a product of that experience of sheltering and worrying about crowds, and then thinking what are the

we pivoted to make face masks. learned bulk buyers of ppe, state and local governments, were procuring them at the lowest price, so the overseas product that has been dumped in the u.s. ends up being the default choice. ironically, the best opportunity to strengthen our supply chain is deepening our dependence. the direct to consumer sales front was very challenging. well intended policies by social media and the e-commerce channels and at preventing price gouging were inadvertently stifling american manufacturers like us. prevented -- we still are prevented from directly advertising to consumers. we are forced to rely on old-fashioned cold calling. and yet the american manufacturers who, in the true american spirit of fortitude in the face of threat, facing pressure on either end, i take to thetion from the ride moon. 1961 propelled our dominance in space and the human race benefited. technology is what inspired first-generation immigrants to come to america to contribute positively to change. to help people polic

tell the audience why we are wearing the mask. to protect us or other people. >> the majority 69 reason why we are wearing -- the majority of the reason why we are wearing the masks is to make sure we are not giving whatever we may have to anybody else. there are studies that have shown in community where everybody is wearing a mask, they have seen a great reduction in covid-19. jesse: if you want to reduce covid-19 in america, wear it when you are supposed to wear it. all right, dr. wagner, thank you very much. racial unrest in america. a look back at our exclusive interview with the portland truck driver attacked by black lives matter pro -- pro 2e69ers. >> i had a chance to shoot a bunch of you the other day and didn't. wedding day, huh boys? been there, done that. twice your cousin. from boston. karen, i'm just gonna say what everyone here is thinking. you look smokin. total smokeshow. and they never did find his finger. they had to close the pool for like an hour. ♪ i brought a date. name's sam. dig in. love is like boston la

masks into that total. you can get a sense of the preparation. you can get a sense of the effort, particularly on ppe as it correlates to the needs of our first responders and to address all of that anxiety that we had to address when we referred to those wild wild west days early in this pandemic. we have not been passive. we have been very active at building up those supplies including those surge facilities throughout the state. now, as it relates to our approach, i will remind you, we had a three-pronged approach. i have the vaccine commentary is a fourth prong in a moment. i will remind you that three- pronged approach, pre-a vaccine was about prevention, testing, and isolation. i will remind you, we were the first state in the country to do a stay at home order. we moved a number of months ago with a mask mandate. we have already distributed 600 million masks. that is not the 500+ million that is in our inventory. we have already distributed 600 million masks and we put out 11 weeks ago this blueprint

this is what this n95 mask does as well. one can argue many places in the public can be considered a high-risk situation. these n95 masks may be something that may become more widely recommended depending on what's happening. this is one that my wife got me, i'm not sure what to make of it, she tells me i should wear this quite a bit. maybe i talk too much. i don't know. >> 18 jokes just went through my head and none of them will let me keep my job. sanjay, thank you very much. i appreciate it. >>> breaking moments ago, first time unemployment claims are still stubbornly high as the jobs crisis joins us. christine romans joins us now with those numbers. >> it means zip it, john berman, just zip it, right now, don't let anything bad happen to you. 709,000 net new job losses in the most recent week, this is the lowest number since the crisis began but this is still bigger than anything we have ever seen pre-pandemic so these are 709,000 people, families, who lost a job. when you add in the pandemic unemployment insurance it's

charles: two things on the mask. some of the other, ancillary things that pro mask crowd would like to have. i agree with you. i don't think the beef has ever been with the mask per se but the worry or concerns about the manned state. if 100% of americans agree you wear a mask. there is a mandate, okay. but what happens only 80% of the american public agrees with something or 60%? one day 40%, still the government already been given the go ahead to use mandates? i think a lot of americans are so afraid of big government and government power, david, that the abuse the use of mandates, particularly on a federal level is what is scaring people? >> i completely agree. i also think a mandate would backfire in a profound way because we would still have plenty of covid spread with a mask mandate because masks are not perfect either. you know, everyone can just intuitively know you cannot fully stop a viral spread with this kind of infectiousness just from wearing a paper mask over your mouth. what it would do is break down
