are dashes After on Thursday, the two Californian cities Los Angeles and San Diego, after moved the Federal government in Washington on Friday. In daily Corona-Update-US President Donald Trump (73) announced that the American health authority CDC recommends that, effective immediately, the Wearing of face masks in the public space. “But we don’t want people to wear medical protective masks,” noted Trump.

So far, the health authority CDC healthy people advised without symptoms explicitly not to Wear masks.
Trump want to not wear the mask
For confusion Trumps made statements to the Wearing of a protective mask in the subsequent question and answer session send. The US President has decided not to follow the recommendation of its own health authority. “I’m not going to wear a protective mask,” he said. Then he took explaining: “I’m sitting in the Oval Office, behind this beautiful Resolute Desk. I meet as presidents, Prime Ministers, dictators, kings, Queens – I don’t know, somehow I see it for myself.”
After all: The US President and his Vice, Mike Pence (60) to be protected by new measures from the Coronavirus, such as from a communication from the Friday show. The White house wants to reduce the risk of infection of the two most important political office holders in the country.

Trump was asked on Friday whether you could move the election date. The US-President wants to know anything, though: “The election is on 3. November to take place.”
A postponement of the presidential elections is hardly conceivable. The election date is set by law. So a Change would be through the U.S. Congress is necessary, the addition may be before the courts of appeal. In addition, it would win on this road just a few weeks. Because the more time plan is even written into the Constitution, and thus even more rigid: the start date for the new Congress on 3. January and the inauguration of the President on 20. January.
