    AT> Is it necessary to wear a mask? Last I heard, FEMA was advising to   
    AT> wear a mask to prevent the spread to others, but what if you don't have   
    AT> the virus? Then  wouldn't you be just hoarding masks that others need?   
       
   In the very beginning, the public health workers had a severe shortage.   
   At that time Focci and others asked that the public not hoard the K95   
   masks so the the health workers could have them.  Then as other cloth   
   coverings became more available, it was said that all should wear masks.   
   That is the response to your last sentence above.   
      
   And wearing a mask helps to prevent your spreading the virus to others.   
   You may well have the virus and be infectious, but not know it.  It does   
   also provide some protection to your getting infected.

   Trump is easily recognizable with or without a mask.  Who is he hurting   
   by not wearing a mask?  He is hurting all Americans who follow his   
   example, encouraging them to not bother wearing a mask -- thus possibly   
   spreading the infection to others that they come in contact with.  A   
   good leader leads by example.  Trump is not doing that.
