Long Donald Trump has made no secret of the fact, what he thinks of masks for protection against the Coronavirus: nothing. Already in April, as the health authority CDC Americans recommended the Wearing of masks in Public, distanced himself from Trump immediately thereof. He’ll wear no mask, it was a voluntary measure, not a requirement, he said. Also, as in may, a mask, a duty for all public areas of the White house was introduced, refused to Trump, such protection may create. His justification: “I’m getting close to anybody.” Public performances completed Trump since then, ostentatiously, without mouth protection. Compared to the “Wall Street Journal” he claimed a few weeks ago, some people wore it just to make a political Statement against him.

But now the President sounds suddenly quite different: “I am for the masks,” said Trump on Wednesday the channel Fox Business News. Of course he would wear a mask if he was together in a confined space with other people, afterwards, he pushed, “in any case”. And, of course, he had “no Problem” to wear in Public a mouth-nose protection.

the President suddenly to his Senses? This is likely to have some Americans asked – until he heard Trumps justification for his newly discovered love for mouth protection: “I even had a mask (and) I kind of liked how I looked. It was a dark, black mask, and I thought it looked fine.“ He looked like “the Lone Ranger”, a fictional character that is known from Western movies and an eyes mask wearing.

In reality, it is likely to warn Trumps u-turn have less to do with Western figures than with the recent rapid rise in infection numbers, which the top American immunologist Anthony Fauci for days. Within 24 hours were recorded in the United States 52.898 new infection cases reported, the Johns Hopkins University in the night to Thursday. This is the highest number since the outbreak in America. In the last few days, Fauci had warned that the number of new infections in America could soon be at 100,000 per day. A total of almost 2.7 million people in the United States, now with the Coronavirus infected.

Despite these Figures, Trump place, the Wearing of a mask had to be in the United States no duty because there were “many places” where the people lived far away from each other, as he “Fox Business News” said. “When people feel well, they should wear a mask.”
