CNN’s Dr. Reiner: Americans Should Still Be Wearing Masks, Especially Indoors

‘I think a lot of people should be wearing masks in crowds’

EXCERPT:

TAPPER: “Outdoors too?

REINER: “Outdoors less so. But if you’re going to be in a crowded outdoor space, sure. I would leave a mask on. I don’t think a mask is a big burden.
