U.S. @Surgeon_General Jerome Adams, speaking today, pleaded with Americans to wear a mask.
"Please, please, please wear a face covering when you go out in public. It is not an inconvenience, it is not a suppression of your freedom. It actually is a vehicle to achieve our goals."

"This is not meant to be pessimistic. I am actually confident, based on the data we've seen around the country and around the world, that if we do the right things, we actually can reopen and stay open," Adams said.

"As America's doctor, I want you to know I have every confidence that we can very quickly see these new case counts go down, and we can reopen, we can get back to school, to work, to worship, and to college football. But we've all got to do our part. It's up to you America."

Strongest wear-a-mask plea I've seen yet from the administration. Pence and Azar also similarly urged mask-wearing. (Trump has never publicly worn a mask, but there are growing calls in Republican circles for him to do so to try and dilute some of the partisanship around it.)

Also notable: the task force members (including Adams today) were speaking for the second time in the past week *not at the White House.* They spoke at HHS last week and today at the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps Headquarters. Pres. Trump didn't attend either.

Neither do KY & Louisville fans like Duke - the only thing we agree on.

I’d rather see football and sports as a whole fall by the wayside
