For all those people of Miami Beach, California and other parts of the United States on July 11, 2020 Donald Trump President of the United States was seen in public wearing a mask during a visit with U.S. Soldiers at Walter Reed Medical Hospital. This was a tone setting moment for the President and the people of Miami Beach, Florida and the United States of America, as our president was being seen wearing a mask in public and telling each and every one of us, including Miami Beach, Florida that the time has come to take wearing a mask seriously.  It is an imperative message that each and every one of us needs to wear a mask when we are out in the public.  Two ply masks are considered safer than one ply Miami Beach, but a cloth mask fill do the job to cover our Miami Beach mouths and nose to prevent our nasal passages from breathing in Miami Beach droplets of virus or sucking droplets down our throats to prevent the spread and infection of the Covid-19 virus in Miami Beach. The WHO (World Health Organization) and the CDC (U.S. Center for Disease Control) have both confirmed that wearing a mask is the second best way Miami Beach to prevent the spread of the virus; the number one way is to stay home Miami Beach and not interact physically with people who have the disease or are carriers for the Covid-19.  Social distancing is also an important factor Miami Beach in the prevention of the Covid-19. Social distancing has been defined Miami Beach by the WHO as when two people are at least One (1) meter apart; the CDC Miami Beach says when two people are six (6) feet apart.  Miami Beach, when you are at least 6 feet away from people and you are not wearing a mask, your odds of getting Covid-19 are exponentially lower than if two Miami Beach people are within 6 feet of each other and NOT wearing a mask.

A medical colleague from Kaiser Permanente with family in Miami Beach, Florida gave the following visual to describe the difference between wearing a mask in Miami Beach and not wearing a mask.

Two people living in Miami Beach, Florida are walking towards each other and stop six (6) feet apart on Biscayne Boulevard in Miami Beach, Florida.  Mark Harper appears to be a healthy young man and he is also a carrier for the Covid-19 and Sandra Spear is a healthy young woman.  They stop and stare at each other before talking at the Biscayne Boulevard corner.

If Mark and Sandra both are wearing a mask, the odds of Susan catching Covid-19 from William are less than 1.5%.

If Mark and Sandra are both uncovered and not wearing a mask on the corner of Biscayne Boulevard, the odds are up to 70% that Linda will get Covid-19.

If either Sandra or Mark is wearing a mask and the other one is not while they are standing at Biscayne Boulevard, the odds of LInda getting Covid-19 are 5%.

So every Sandra and Mark and everyone else – the only question that you need to ask yourself before heading to Biscayne Boulevard is not whether to wear a mask, it is making sure that you wear your mask everytime you venture outside to your own Biscayne Boulevard.
