dr. Fauci Suggests a Federal Mask Mandate May Be Necessary

PJM: Dr. Anthony Fauci says it might be necessary for Washington to impose a mask mandate on all 50 states, given the worrisome rise in coronavirus cases across the U.S. Fauci made the remarks during an interview on CNN.

Previously Fauci had opposed a federal mask mandate as unworkable and unenforceable.

CNN:

 Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has been urging Americans to use masks for months. “I have trust in the American people that if we put a strong emphasis on the importance of wearing masks, that we will come around and do that and get that percentage up above the relatively low percentage of people that are using masks,” Fauci said on July 21 on NPR’s Morning Edition.

But he has said before that he doesn’t think a federal law would be the way to go.

Earlier this month, a poll found 92 percent of Americans believing that wearing a mask was a good idea. But only about 60 percent wear one. Changing people’s minds about wearing a mask outdoors will be difficult as long as we’re getting mixed messages from public health professionals. more

  1. For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
    Th’ oppressor’s wrong, the proud man’s contumely,
    The pangs of despised love, the law’s delay,
    The insolence of office, and the spurns
    That patient merit of th’ unworthy takes,
    When he himself might his quietus make
    With a bare bodkin? Who would fardels bear,
    To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
    But that the dread of something after death,
    The undiscovered country from whose bourn
    No traveler returns, puzzles the will
    And makes us rather bear those ills we have
    Than fly to others that we know not of?
    Thus conscience does make cowards of us all…

  2. Does anyone actually believe these contrived polls? “…92 percent of Americans believing that wearing a mask was a good idea.” I call bullshit!!!

    Does anyone realize the difference between “cases” and “illnesses”?

    Are more people getting sick? NO!

    Then tell these fascist megalomaniacs to piss-off!!!

    We’ve been exceptionally tolerant and peaceful up to this point, but the time for a severe reckoning is swiftly approaching.

  3. @Eric ~ thanks for the Shakespeare. the man writes circles around what passes today as ‘literature’ (most is nothing more than ramblings that are barely better than the daily spouting’s of your average blog comment section … & I don’t mean that in a good way)

    … if one would take the time to take a whole minute, or two, to attempt to translate such words as ‘fardels’ & how the words come together to paint a picture in the mind, they’d understand the genius behind the words

    but, hey! the next Iron Man/Captain America/Avengers … part XXXVIII is coming up!

    bitch, bitch, bitch … sometimes that’s all I do …. but I try to do it well 😉

  4. Because we want to delay the inevitable and keep the charade going as long as possible.

    Many of your colleagues, most more accomplished than you, believe this strategy to be inappropriate and hurting our citizens. But who are they? Certainly not career bureaucrats sucking the life out of America like some we know.

  5. Coming from the same cocksucker that said masks were useless, before he didn’t, or something.

    You wanna wear a mask? Fine. If they actually did anything, you wearing one should be enough, right? Don’t feel safe wearing a mask? Then wear 3 or 4 and stfu.

    How much longer until we “flatten the curve”?

  6. Hell in my travels alone I’ve probably seen with my own eyes at least 10% of the population not wearing a mask, so I call bullshit on this poll. More and more people are realizing this was all bullshit.

    My daughter was telling me tonight about her in-laws, one in particular who has been terrified of the virus, wears a mask in stores and when in close contact with anyone. The other has thought it was bullshit and really thinks it’s bullshit now. Both of these are registered democrats, although the one who hasn’t bought the bullshit is a Trump supporter, the other has never said. They went to a party, one of the men a few days after the party starting feeling like he had a cold so his dumbass went and got tested and tested positive.
    Then his dumbass gave them the name of the woman who had the party and said she would know all the names. Health Dept. contacted her told her she had to be tested, she still has had no symptoms but tested positive. She provided all the names. The one who believed all the bullshit about stroked out, got tested and told it was positive. The other wasn’t going to get tested but the health dept. called his employer and employer demanded he be tested. He tested positive, again no symptoms.

    They had to wait two weeks and get retested and magically it was negative. When they both received their test results in the mail, the first test was not shown to show positive or negative, 2nd tested showed negative.

    That’s how ignorant that shit is. I tell everyone that comes around me that if they’re the type to go get tested and started naming names they best stay away because they will find out I’m not a nice person when you piss me off.

    Pence should have never put this idiot or the female version of him on the task force.

  7. I have been working hard to control my swearing. So I’m not going to type what I would really like to say about that little twerp. I refused to be tested when I donated blood. That’s the only time I will wear a mask too. And I will not take a vaccine. Period. They will have to knock me out to give it to me.

  8. Trump needs to get rid of this diabolical dwarf.
    Why the hell didn’t Trump get rid of him seven months ago before he destroyed the U.S. economy?
    I just don’t know about Trump sometimes; the way he allows this jerk to ruin the economy and the way he pushes the masks and coming “vaccine”.
    It all really stinks.

  9. This “wear a mask” BS is just as effective as the “duck and cover” BS we had pounded into us in the sixties. The powers that be had to say something even if it was idiotic.

  10. capt. Leroy,
    My Dad was stationed at Ramstein AFB from 60 to 63 and in the event of a nuclear attack by the USSR we were supposed to hide under our desks! About a half an inch of particle board and some thin-gauge steel was going to save us – seemed pretty fucking stupid even to a 9 year old.
    Those unscheduled drills used to scare the shit outta me.

  11. Foulchi has done more than wear out his welcome. He has broken it by proving he is not the smartest guy in the room, & not Mr .Knowitall. It’s time to replace him with someone with new ideas. Someone more competent.

    Dear Doctor I have a swell I recommendation where you can put the mandatory face mask idea. The colors won’t fade from sunlight
