Be like Trump: Wear a mask

President Trump wore a mask for the first time in public yesterday while visiting recovering military personnel at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. This was the right call and one that should have been made much sooner.

One of the stranger and more frustrating developments over the past few months has been the hostility toward face coverings. Many businesses now require them, and countless videos have shown altercations between employees trying to enforce the policy and angry patrons refusing to listen. It’s a difficult situation because no one likes wearing a mask, and information about whether face coverings are really necessary has been so conflicting that many simply don’t understand the point of it.
