The debate over wearing masks in public is getting deadly. Not just because people with masks are less likely to transmit COVID-19, but they are also less likely to pull out guns because of them. One man in Florida pulled out a handgun on a man with his daughter after getting into a dispute over face masks. […]
After extensive testing, a team of scientists at the University of Toronto have confirmed that a new face mask can actually “deactivate” the virus SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19.

The same administration whose fumbling of COVID-19 containment efforts ultimately worsened the ensuing jobs crisis would now like to shame you into finding “something new” to do for a living, even as the virus continues to bag an alarmingly high number of new cases around the country. An ad campaign backed by the White House focuses on […]
During a press conference on Monday afternoon the Director for the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, Dr. Robert Redfield, continued with the theme of pleading with Americans to put on a mask to stymie the spread of COVID-19.
