Day 1170

1/ The CDC recommends all Americans wear simple “non-medical, cloth” masks in public. Trump, however, said “You can do it. You don’t have to do it. I’m choosing not to do it. It’s only a recommendation.” Trump stressed several times that the CDC’s new guidelines are “voluntary” and that he would not be wearing a mask the CDC is now recommending. Trump also underscored that medical masks should be reserved for health care workers and that masks are not a substitute for social distancing. (CNN / NPR)
