Bill de Blasio Rejects Claim U.S. Knew Asymptomatic People Could Spread the Virus
Mayor Bill de Blasio rejected WNYC host Brian Lehrer’s claim that the U.S. knew “weeks and months ago that asymptomatic people can spread this disease,” and instead suggested this fact was only discovered “in the last 48 hours.”
“The city’s position used to be that healthy people don’t need masks because they’re not very effective at preventing the virus from coming in, they’re mostly from keeping you from spreading it, so explain this new recommendation,” Lehrer said.
“Exactly, it’s still the fundamental truth, so we have, you know, a renowned health department here in New York City… only in the last really 48 hours or so do they feel they’ve seen evidence around the world, particularly a new study coming out of Singapore, that shows more evidence that this disease can be spread by asymptomatic people,” de Blasio responded.
De Blasio then explained that surgical masks and N95s “are only for the people fighting in the front line battle,” and urged people to use makeshift or homemade masks instead.

By just breathing their breath...they do not have to cough on you or near you...
They are a walking time bomb....
And with the virus having a 3 hr lifetime in air, anytime you go outside in public you are risking getting infected...that is why they are preaching isolation...
We need testing yesterday....
That is why wearing a mask is essential to your health.
