A former Food and Drug Administration official has advice for people as the delta variant of COVID-19 continues to spread: Mask up.Speaking on CBS’s “Face the Nation,†Scott Gottlieb said the delta variant isn’t more airborne than the original COVID virus and is “not more likely to be permeable to a mask.â€.I think, though, if you’re going to consider wearing a mask, the quality of the mask does matter,†Gottlieb said.
“So if you can get your hands on a KN95 mask or an N95 mask, that’s going to afford you a lot more protection.â€.
“So I would encourage people to look at the quality of the mask and try and get their hands on a better quality of mask,†he said.In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warns that if someone asks you to pay for access to a COVID vaccine, it’s a scam?
