"The CDC does not mandate anything," says Dr. Anthony Fauci. But if a Covid surge leads to a recommendation that people wear masks, "I hope they would abide by the recommendation and take into account the risks to themselves and to their families. We are not talking about forcing anybody to do anything."

What's wishy washing about advising people to listen to health experts?

Health experts would tell you to wear a mask because it costs you nothing, not to do whatever you feel is best.

Not nothing. Proper N95s are a cost some people can't afford. But even a cloth mask is better than no mask.
