Only 11 percent of Americans said they will not even consider wearing face masks to protect others and possibly themselves from catching COVID-19, according to a new Gallup poll. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported 52,228 new cases and 271 deaths across the country on Saturday alone.
