White House Coronavirus Team Refuses to Budge: ‘Most of the Country’ Still Needs to Wear Masks

Charlie Spiering 9 Feb 2022

President Joe Biden’s coronavirus task force on Wednesday side-stepped decisions by Democrat governors to lift mask mandates across the country, recommending most Americans remain masked in public indoor settings.

“At this time we continue to recommend masking in areas of high and substantial transmission,” Centers for Disease Control Dr. Rochelle Walensky stated during a press briefing. “That’s most of the country right now.”

Walensky said data showing coronavirus hospitalizations and cases were falling were encouraging but did not announce an update on their federal guidance for children in schools.

“We’re of course taking a close look at this in real-time and we’re evaluating rates of transmission as well as rates of severe outcomes as we look at updating and reviewing our guidance,” she said.

recommend....

guidance....

Liars and village idiots want what?

It does not have the force of law, and even though the media can push whatever, bolstered by wild-eyed statistics from ramped up tests that are 14% accurate during the media induced panic....

Ya don't gotta, so, no.

Enough  of this lunacy, because the next step will be not being able to identify the guy on the photo ID because half of his face is covered....just in time for the next round of electoral fraud.

Time to turn up the heat on state governors some more.

Nanny Government doesn't think you should go out without an umbrella, in case it rains.

The overriding goal of Democrats/Communists/Liberals is to keep the COVID panic going into the midterm. This has ALWAYS been their goal for two years. They believe COVID panic will justify millions of what they call 'mail-in' votes (unverified unvetted made up votes out of the air) so they can continue and bolster their vote fraud apparatus.

Democrats have no shame. Democrats have no honor or dignity. Democrats ARE criminals, they break any law or rule at will as they want. The Republicans treating Democrats as if they are normal respectful Americans is ridiculous. The Democrats will take advantage of anything to steal the vote. They take any respect or deference and any attempt to "work together" by Republicans as STUPIDITY and WEAKNESS.

I dunno; it seems as if there is a rift or schism opening up between democrats at the state level - the governors - and democrats at the federal level.  A number of democrat governors have rather unceremoniously announced that their state face-diaper mandates will simply be allowed to expire without further action - which indicates that they do not want the face-diaper issue front-and-center for the upcoming elections.

Republicans tend to view Democrats as American 'partners'.
Democrats view Republicans as deadly enemies to be exterminated or rounded up into concentration camps.
Until Republicans accept this fact and act accordingly the Democrat criminals will continue to cheat their way into power.

School kids should even be masked in states with NO mandates and a 'huge chunk' of Americans still want face coverings: Psaki doubles down on White House NOT budging on COVID despite Democrat states rolling back, UK dropping all rules and cases dropping

    President Joe Biden's administration is not budging on lifting face mask requirements even as eight Democratic governors are easing restrictions
    ‘When you are in a high transmission area, which is everywhere in the country, you should wear a mask and indoor settings, including schools,’ Jen Psaki said
    Additionally, the case rate is dropping and the United Kingdom, one of the country's oldest allies, is returning to pre-Covid life
    CDC's Rochelle Walsensky said with the high hospitalization and death rates, the current guidance on wearing face coverings remains in effect
    'Our hospitalizations are still high, our death rates are still high, so as we work towards that and we are encouraged by current trends, we are not there yet,' she said
    Dr Anthony Fauci said he believes America is almost past 'full-blown' pandemic
    He predicted there would soon be an end to all Covid-related restrictions, which includes the mandatory use of face masks
    His comments come as polls show Americans are reaching a breaking point on Covid with a majority describing themselves as 'tired,' 'frustrated,' and arguing 'we just need to get on with our lives'
    White House has backed down from previous criticism of those governors, saying decisions can be made on local level
