Even in the summer months, please remember to wear face coverings & practice social distancing. The more precaution we take now can mean a healthier & safer country in the Fall. pic.twitter.com/80dGOWIyDJ

I am glad you support masks because, yesterday 465 Americans died from Cornavirus yesterday.

I’m on team Trump but info on face mask that is being put out there is wrong. There are several studies showing little to know benefit. Cloth are the worst.

It’s almost as though we’ve been learning more and more every day about how this virus works and how it’s transmitted and medical scientists have issued new guidelines as a result of new knowledge. It’s weird how science works, isn’t it?

I cannot and will not buy into any propaganda regardless of the source. I think youโre a great First Lady and you show tremendous class but on this I disagree 110% 8 days a week. pic.twitter.com/MDENffUgj4

Since people are highly contagious 2 or 3 days before they show the first symptom, your suggestion would be completely impossible to implement and the reason why everyone needs to be doing it. We have known this since Feb 27

Thank you, First Lady Trump. Sincerely. This is a very good message and I hope everyone will listen to you. In fact, I especially hope everyone in the #WhiteHouse will listen to you.

Boy, if that were true, there would be ZERO cases in Texas right now. 100 degrees + humidity.

I will not submit. I have to say that I’m shocked by this tweet. We’re not Chyyyna, and we won’t buy into this lie. It’s been PROVEN that masks don’t work. I love you, but I’m sorry, this is very disappointing.
