Didn't want to go into the spamfest that JackG's thread about masks has turned into -- nothing against ya JackG, just not a fan of posting news/update about something on the 10th page of the thread itself.

But yesterday Donald Trump wore a mask in public for the first time when he was visiting a military hospital regarding the Coronavirus. He hasn't been seen in a mask publicity yet, so this is the first time since the Coronavirus started ravaging the nation that we saw him wearing a mask.

Obviously it was a bit of a media spectacle. But I personally think this is a common tactic used by Trump, which is to divert from the issues that he is currently facing. But if this does get more people to wear masks then so be it.
