WASHINGTON — The Biden administration will extend for two weeks the nationwide mask requirement for public transit as it monitors an uptick in COVID-19 cases, according to a person familiar with the matter.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was set to extend the order, which was to expire on April 18, by two weeks to monitor for any observable increase in severe virus outcomes as cases rise in parts of the country. The move was being made out of abundance of caution, the person said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to preview the CDC's action.

May 3rd now
The “science” that liberals follow is conducted by quacks - especially medical types.
"...out of abundance of caution"
Totally ridiculous. Remember in November!
Winding down.
From multiple five month extensions to a three month extension (January - April 2022) to a two week extension.
They just can’t bear to relinquish power in one swoop.
This is NOT about “health”.
It never has been.
My prediction- You’ll never board another airplane without a diaper on your face
To the altar of the Maskists..
Yep, Two weeks to flatten the curve comes to mind.
Extending the tease prolongs the pleasure of maskerbation.
First of two week’s-worth of two week extensions times ∞
Agreed.
..and in another 4 weeks we’ll have the recommendation for a 5th and possibly a 6th booster shot...In that time it will be the summer travel season kicking off.
What a joke. The amazing thing is that even for a political calculation this is really stupid. The people who want him to do this are going to vote for him anyway. The people he is losing are only going to get more irritated.
“The move was being made out of abundance of caution...”
And with the sincere hope that something else comes along over the next two weeks. I’m betting it will.
“The people who want him to do this are going to vote for him anyway.”
You’re right. I’m pretty sure that everyone still wearing a mask these days is a democrat.
Moving the goalposts again. This is getting tiresome.
Why don’t they just come out and say, “Mask mandates FOREVER, suckers!” and be done with all these titillating cheap promises of “Maybe next week (or month, or year).”
Then the entire nation could go on a civil disobedience strike. They cannot jail us all, can they? Not even China would be able to enforce compliance under those conditions.
Two weeks ago I removed mine on a flight to eat a snack. I never put it back on. No one said a word
