Overseas Network, July 13th. The new US pneumonia epidemic continues to be severe. US President Trump first wore a mask in public on Saturday (11th), breaking the principle of opposing the wearing of masks. The medical director of the US federal government also said that the federal government is currently trying to correct the epidemic prevention guidelines and urgently appeals to the public to wear masks and maintain social distance to slow down the spread of the virus and reverse the epidemic.
According to the "Business Insider" website (businessinsider.com) on the 12th, after the outbreak of the New Crown epidemic, there was a shortage of protective equipment such as masks in the United States.

But Adams put on a mask in an interview with CBS's "Face the Nation" on Sunday (12th) and admitted that the federal government's guidelines were wrong at the time, pointing out that the federal government is trying to correct the guidelines .
Adams said that the change in the guidance provided by the US federal government to the public was because the authorities had a deeper understanding of the new coronavirus and its mode of transmission.

In the face of the continued deterioration of the epidemic in many states of the United States, Adams believes that if a large number of people are willing to wear masks in public and maintain a social distance of at least 6 feet (about 1.8 meters), the United States can slow the epidemic between two and three Samsung transmission speed.

Florida alone reported more than 15,000 newly diagnosed cases on the 12th, setting a new high in the number of new cases per day in the state.

When he visited the injured veterans, he finally put on a mask. This was also the first time he had put on a mask in public after the outbreak. , Breaking his earlier objection to wearing masks.
On the 12th, in addition to Adams, several members of the federal government also responded on Sunday's talk show. White House coronavirus detection expert Brett P. Giroir appeared on two programs in the US media, expressing "very concerned about the increase in the number of confirmed cases." He said that the United States is ready for the first aid team, CDC team, and response team, and these teams are all going to various places.
