Dr. Schaffner: Wearing A Mask 'Not Political. The Virus Doesn't Care' | MTP Daily | MSNBC
I thought everyone knows this! –Bonnie Robinson
Thank you for tell all that mask matters. Just wear it end of story. Grow up.
Is this ok or normal to tell about wearing a mask 😷 for the American people!? The most advanced ppl in our planet? Is really ok to talk about this like talking to a kindergarten child? Peole need to check up their head.
This is so SAD- that doctors STILL have to try to convince others to wear a mask– as Joe Biden says “Come on Man!!!!!”
deborah b: Gee, I wonder why that is…could it be because Trump’s little sniffers think that Trump knows what he is talking about?
Voter Fraud 2020
@Tech ti go put your tin foil hat back on
@deborah b the thing is that no matter how much you explain the situation to them even when you make it so clear that a 5 year old understands it, they won’t accept the reality no matter how much you seperate the fact from their fiction. They just won’t let go, they are too far gone.
Wear a mask.
Wear a MAGA mask, if you want.
But wear a mask.
@DAVID : Yes, the whole world is lying to embarrass Trump. No wonder Widdle Donnie is so bitter.
@Trumpocalypse The whole world is on board with a vaccine too.
@DAVID People like you are personally responsible for the catastrophic death rate in the US.
@X A About as catastrophic as influenza.
@X A I didn’t get sick, and I didn’t get anybody else sick all year so who are you gonna blame for this catastrophe? Trump? I guess he single handedly killed every person falsely diagnosed with covid from suicide, pneumonia, shootings, heart attacks, car wrecks, and falling off buildings too. I have a bridge to sell you real cheap.
It’s only been a year…what aren’t ya getting…grasp the concept…stop killing eachother….
Maybe not everyone understands the full ramifications of a snake eating its own tail?
Why are people still “needing to be convinced”, coddled or placated about this?! All anyone had to do was pay attention to the images coming out of china back in jan to understand how potentially deadly the virus could be, and what steps needed to be taken to protect themselves and each other.
People are so effn fragile!!
Where is hunter??????
liberals believe what they’re told to believe by lifelong corrupt politicians celebrities and mainstream media fake news propaganda 🤡

@William H Music 2020 Coming for u first.
True
@William H Music 2020 Doctor is not a celebrity.
God Bless All Americans. Please wear masks 😷 & wash your hands, social distancing & please stay home if you can. 🇺🇸
Wearing a mask Isn’t a political statement – it’s an IQ test!
@DAVID so we should believe you over the CDC, the NIH and every ER doctor and nurse on the planet?
Right… 🙄
@Michael Hancock I don’t care what you believe. I believe what I see. No full hospitals, people being sent home with no treatment, and media hyping up flu sadistics.
What kind of mask?
Exactly! 🙌😁
😂
Sad that adults have to be spoken to like they’re in kindergarten, with the hope that they will listen…
Adults are a just kids who’ve waited out the chance to misbehave and act irrationally without the threat of consequence.
@MarcSylex you’ve been watching BLM and Antifa again haven’t you….
@Aaron Abbott 🤣
It’s like a return to the dark ages up in here, people are actually _afraid_ of medical advice. I can’t count how many comments I’ve read just at YouTube alone, “masks don’t work,” or worse: “masks make you sicker.” It’s as if they think they’re reinventing germ theory with some of the crap I’ve heard, like patients telling their own doctors that “Covid is a hoax,” from their own deathbeds! We’re allowing these imbeciles to dictate how dangerous this gets. Mandates need to be implemented and enforced.
@Max Covfefe “We know that wearing a mask outside health care facilities offers little, if any, protection from infection. Public health authorities define a significant exposure to Covid-19 as face-to-face contact within 6 feet with a patient with symptomatic Covid-19 that is sustained for at least a few minutes (and some say more than 10 minutes or even 30 minutes). The chance of catching Covid-19 from a passing interaction in a public space is therefore minimal. In many cases, the desire for widespread masking is a reflexive reaction to anxiety over the pandemic.”
A quote taken from a published paper in the New England Journal of Medicine written by 5 public Health Experts in late may of this Year.
So I guess the kindergarteners are published scholars that exist outside of YOUTUBE as well.

Gee I didn’t know that… I guess wearing a mask isn’t political after all 🤡
I wonder do all these people that have been told to wear masks and don’t, need to be told to change there underware because they don’t think they need to?
True
I got an idea! 🏆 Arrest those that do not wear masks like they do in Chiner👍
No, not arrest… more like a fine for refusing to wear one in public places. I’m sick of seeing decent people just doing their jobs being harassed by entitled Karens who can’t just cooperate in a society. It should be like getting caught driving without your seat belt.
@Max Covfefe ok a fine, fine them. But the latest is: don the con is being backed up by the republikans and they are telling him not to leave the Whitehouse. So, now the Dems will have to OUST him! Seriously 😲😔
@Go Fish I said it form the start: they gonna have to drag him out. He’s not leaving of his own free will. I predict the one luxury Donald Trump will NEVER be able to afford again is peace of mind.
LONG LIVE THE GREAT AMERICAN COMMUNIST PARTY. People with this type of mentality will be the real death of our nation. From a mask wearer (not oppressor) and non trump lover by the way..
What do the corona and t’rump have in common?
Both are single-minded forces who have never been loved and don’t care how many Americans die because of their lack of caring.
😉
Gop incompetence is literally killing us
@John O<~~~~And there’s the political idiot.
Keep your eyes on Florida, South Dakota, California, and New York. In six months take a look a the number of teenage and young adult suicides, drug overdoses, and homicides in these states. Compare that to covid deaths (age of deaths). Then do some math in regards to years of life lost. Finally, examine your statement regarding the incompetence literally killing us.
I ware a mask as everybody should but I have fun with mine funny wild and bizarre, even ones that have IEDs in then.
So far the majority of the average yank is a manky inconvenient dork so what’s their problem?
They always seem to catch her with a dumbfounded look on her face on the thumbnail.
There should be fines for not wearing masks in public at this point. Just like seat belts in a moving vehicle.
Strange that the party of pointy hooded idiots are afraid of facemasks.
