U.S. President Donald Trump wears a mask while visiting Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, U.S., July 11, 2020. President Donald Trump, in a shift in rhetoric and tone, encouraged Americans on Tuesday to wear masks if they cannot maintain social distance and warned that the coronavirus pandemic would get worse before it got better. Few people wore masks at Trump’s first rally since the pandemic in Tulsa, Oklahoma, earlier this summer. Trump said he was getting used to masks and would wear one himself in groups or when on an elevator. Following Trump’s initial lead, some Republican governors have also resisted rules requiring that their populations wear masks.
