Latest Wave Of Covid Mask Wars Take Off In The U.S.

The United States is back up to around 380 COVID-19 deaths a day, with hospitalizations averaging 7,300 a day over a week  

Meagan Flynn, The Washington Post: Public health collides with politics as latest wave of mask wars take off 

Twenty months into the pandemic, the latest wave of the face-mask culture war is in full swing. Parents are protesting in school board meetings from Virginia Beach to Stafford County, Va., demanding their children be allowed to attend school maskless. 

In Congress, Republicans are revolting, defiant after the Capitol Hill physician again required masks on the floor. It's just a snapshot of the political climate state and local officials must contend with as the delta variant drives coronavirus caseloads and they consider whether to reimpose restrictions. 

Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser reinstated an indoor mask mandate last week for everyone, vaccinated or not. But Virginia and Maryland governors Ralph Northam, D, and Larry Hogan, R, did not follow. Hogan has left decisions to local officials, who have already started to put mask mandates back in place as cases surge.

The 'Centers for Disease Control' is No Such Thing

Dr Noel goes over virtually every lie told about COVID.

There are a variety of masks. N95 is the one to use but the ass cited here seems to want us to die or spend a long time in hospital. You do what he suggests. Saner folks now learning from daily reports and opting for vaccines and masks. Lots of luck

There are plenty of masks, but only the N95 is effective, per the CDC, not per the CDC, per the CDC......the CDC and all of the "experts" have no creditability left....no need for booster shot...wait we need a booster. Social distance 6', 3', 9'? Which is it! The virus lives on surfaces 72 hours, no 24 hours, no, it doesnt at all!! God forbid ANYONE talks of other treatments.....keep believing the lies, it seems to make you feel better!

right. list to xxxxx for truth!
why is it that the dying now laments not wearing masks and getting vaccines?
why is it that in places where vaccine numbers are low, virus deaths are high and the vaccinated are saved?
compare the very few deaths from the vaccine with the thousands among the unvaccinated
you go your way. I'll go mine. I do not need you to tell me what the data really means

What chaos. Is there anyone in this chaotic government with which we are now saddled who is not too cowardly to remove fauci?
He started my scepticism of how to deal with the virus early on with his mask flip flops.
