It seems that they might be heading in this direction. Reducing transmission in any way possible is what many medical professionals are saying. This would be for needed excursions from your home.
Will the CDC recommend everyone wear masks?

Masks are not meant to be a guarantee of protection. They are meant to be one more tool to help or minimize the spread of the virus. Nitpicking that point is getting you nowhere.
It is like wearing a seatbelt. It is a tool to minimize injury. Every layer of protection decreases the possibility of getting sick.

That's a problem in my state, no tests so our numbers appear low.

my son wore his this morning when he went to the garage to get his car inspected then to the grocery store. he said the few that were in the store were wearing them. this is only since yesterday when it was on the news all day about some other countries wearing them.
i plan to wear mine on tuesday when i venture out to replace a few things. he wore the ones he wears at work. the white cup like thing . he thinks they offer more coverage. i have a doz of those and the n95. not sure which is best. in any case i will wear one of them. ~Georgia

Are you talking about those masks that are formed? You might not get away with one of those, I've never found one that would fit my face totally. That's how I ended up with N95's to work in my chicken coops.

If they don't fit properly they can actually increase the risk of infection.
They also have to be handled properly.

That's why I mentioned it. It was frustrating for me not to be able to find anything that would fit in stores so resorted to ordering off the internet.

I am putting together supplies to make some for my husband and I. He is already wearing ones he had for work, at work when he is not the only one there. Luckily he is able to work on the weekends when the rest of the construction crews are off.

"Because of some recent information that the virus can actually be spread even when people just speak as opposed to coughing and sneezing – the better part of valor is that when you’re out, when you can’t maintain that 6-foot distance, to wear some sort of facial covering,” Dr. Anthony Fauci said, while appearing on "Fox & Friends" on Friday.
Additional information and guidelines are coming from the task force and cdc concerning cloth mask use in addition to social distancing because it does appear the virus can spread from just talking instead of only coughing and sneezing.

Just hit the grocery store. More people wearing masks than aren't. All the staff are wearing masks and gloves.
Most nurses and health workers are suppose to wear them. Went to walmart today for a new Battery. Not many people there. Everyone but a few people had masts on. All the workers inside had mast on. McD's workers had mast on. Most people had gloves on also. I been wearing gloves and mast for 3 weeks now. People around here do know the danger from air germs. So most people wear a mast. Our government is about 6 or more weeks behind on anything to do with this sickness. Shane on them. Telling people they don't have to wear protecton. Mc D's had food to go like most around here. On the door they have a message keep 10ft. between people. The store was fully stocked. No shortage of anything. No limit on anything. Most people here just what they need now. Two weeks ago some folks were stocking up on most can goods. New shipment of goods came in this morning stuff stacked all over the store. Some employes have been layoff at Mc D's and also at the Bank and Walmart had about half workers off.

It won't matter if you simply stay at home, and take the normal precautions when you do have to go out.
colorado has just is an order for all people to wear a mast in that state.
Colorado has issued an order for all people in the state to wear a mask. States will have to issue orders to safe guard the people as the government in Washning is way behind at this time.

Was that for calling Covid a hoax?
