Harvard health expert makes case for everyone to wear N95 masks - Fox News

Allen, the director of the Healthy Buildings program at the university, penned an op-ed in the Washington Post and said there’s "no reason any essential worker—and really, everyone in the country – should go without masks that filter 95%.".

Anthony Fauci, the top disease expert in the U.S., said in an interview that wearing two cloth masks "likely" offers more protection for the wearer.

"So if you have a physical covering with one layer, you put another layer on, it just makes common sense that it likely would be more effective.

President Biden said Tuesday that masks are "the best defense against COVID-19" in the coming months as his administration acquires a sufficient supply of vaccine to innoculate the majority of Americans.

"In the next few months, masks, not vaccines, are the best defense against COVID-19.

Experts say that wearing masks from now just until April would save 50,000 lives that otherwise would pass away if we don’t wear these masks.".

Some asked why the country wasn’t told to wear double masks earlier on in the outbreak, and others asked-- with that logic-- wouldn’t three masks be more effective than two.
