US coronavirus deaths could hit 300,000 by December 1, but 70,000 lives could be saved if more Americans simply wore masks, a new model predicts.

"It's a profoundly sad number" of projected death, Dr. William Schaffner of Vanderbilt University told CNN on Friday morning. "And we can think that 70,000 of those people could be saved if we would all just wear a mask every day every time we leave our front doors.

"This virus Is not just going to disappear or vanish. The virus is with us, and we're going to have to combat it, and the simple thing that we can all do is wear a mask. Please, everyone, wear your mask every day."

Added CNN chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta on Friday: "That number of lives saved could be even higher if we did this," noting that masks could cut transmission by more than the model's basis of 40%.

But the people that should be heeding the advice and are ignoring it *aren't* going to listen.
