That would explain why we are where we are in the cycle of this pandemic, wouldn't it? Increased cases, increased hospitalizations, increased deaths. Shame people can't do something so simple as wear a mask and socially distance.

I'd like to see wearing masks in public become a cultural norm.

Why? In 2017 there was no threat of Covid. Did you want people out there wearing masks everywhere? And why stop there? Shouldn't they be banned from large social gatherings, festivals, sports events? Maybe face shields, gloves and body suits too? ROFL Yeah, even when you're driving alone in your car. You do it and tell us how that works for ya. Good grief.

Gimme 100 days from the end of January!! This will bring us up to May!! By that time vaccines will have taken effect, the warmer weather will have arrived, and people will sing praises to me, the guy who cured Covid!! Biden* is not a leader, he's a follower.

Or it could be masks are not the ultimate barrier like many think they are

they are never meant to be an Ultimate barrier.

Just another step in the list of precautions.

Mask, distance, washing hands, avoid public crowded indoor situations.

We'll never know as at least half the people refuse to wear one.

And they are already being done


So again, what is Biden doing different? Nothing. He just wants to take credit for “beating” the pandemic and he hopes saying nonsense like this will allow him to

Biden says he will mandate masks on federal buildings and instead state transportation

Isn’t this already done? So what the hell is he talking about?
