RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
Wallace: “Well, I‘m gonna I‘m gonna pick up on the issue of masking because CDC guidance is still that after you get Covid, you should mask for 10 days after testing positive. But according to a poll, last fall, 55% say they never wear a mask outside the home, while 45% due to some extent, whatever that means.
