WASHINGTON - The Biden White House is considering sending masks directly to American households, according to three people familiar with the discussions, an action the Trump administration explored but scrapped.
The Covid-19 Response Team is evaluating the logistics of mailing out millions of face coverings, but no decision has been made, and the proposal hasn't yet reached President Joe Biden for final approval, a White House official said.
It's unclear when the masks would go out to the public, how many would be included per residence and whether they would be disposable or made of cloth. It's also not yet clear what the cost could be.
NBC News reported that the Trump White House scrapped a plan last year to deliver cloth masks to every U.S. household, opting instead to send them to nonprofit organizations and state agencies, according to an internal email from a senior administration official at the time.
The Department of Health and Human Services signed $640 million in contracts in May with a group of textile manufacturers to make masks under Project America Strong, according to federal purchase records. The largest contract went to Hanes, which made 450 million masks in May and July.
Since April, public health experts have encouraged elected leaders to promote mask-wearing. Trump was reluctant to do so, almost never sporting one in public. He defiantly removed a surgical mask when he returned to the White House from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where he was hospitalized in October after his own Covid-19 diagnosis.
By contrast, Biden has consistently worn masks, sometimes even doubling up on them on the campaign trail. He has also decided to wear them inside the Oval Office and in other White House spaces when it's not possible to socially distance.

Talk about a waste of money. First it will be those dumb paper ones. Don’t bother.
Will they send toilet paper too?
If they can do it for ballots they can do it with masks.
We know who you are and where you live!
This is just insane.
Holy smoke what a waste of money! There’s no shortage of these things at nearly any store in the country, and they’re cheap.
Another socialist ideal (fantasy) of government “providing” means...
Will they be made in China?
I’ll toss them soon as I get them.
Or maybe burn them.
China (and Hunter) are in the wings to assist the salivating Bidens to slobber at the public trough.
In fact, Joe Biden has already begun the laundering of our tax dollars.The Alleged President has no shame whatsoever .....
says wearing masks is....wait for it...."a good way to start pulling the country together.” (cue hysterical laugh machine here)
===============REALITY CHECK=======================
In July of this year, Natural News reported how California Gov. Gavin Newsom was caught wiring half a billion dollars to communist China as part of a “massive face mask money laundering scheme. Back in April, even the mainstream media was questioning what Newsom was up to when it was revealed that he had wired half a billion dollars to an electric car company in China to supposedly purchase “N-95 masks” for the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19).
FYI---The opportunistic Biden dove headfirst into the "mask" money launder.
How many billions of our tax dollars will Biden send CCP for this shady deal?

Lookout taxpayers.....when Biden wears that worn out "trust me face" with appropriate frown, he's up to no dam good.
More mask mandates says Biden---- While there has been no national mandate, Biden plans to “implement mask mandates nationwide by working with governors and mayors (who are already in on the mask laundering scam),” according to the Biden-Harris transition website. Biden plans to personally call governors and mayors of major cities to encourage mask mandates, NBC News reported Sunday. --snip--- On the campaign trail, Biden said he supported national mask mandates in all federal buildings and all interstate transportation (which doesn’t currently exist), something that could be achieved through an executive order. --snip--
“Please, I implore you, wear a mask,” Biden said in a press conference Monday after meeting with his (cough) coronavirus advisory board.
“Do it for yourself. Do it for your neighbor. A mask is not a political statement, but it is a good way to start pulling the country together.”

=================================
(HAT TIP THINDEN: this Covid deal resembles the shady Obama/Biden-era Madison Guarantee/Savings Loan crisis on steroids, as follows:
<><> loans, handouts, govt purchases, and grants go to hand-picked entities and/or corporations...
<><> loans, handouts, govt purchases, and grants go to hand-picked entities and/or corporations...
<><> for public consumption, “straw man” entities go belly up & default....
<><> but the real money is moving through several stops on the way to Cyprus, off-shore banks, etc, for laundering...
<><> the laundered funds are then split;
<><> the usual cast of greedsters in line to cash in: pols of all stripes, Soros, The Clinton Foundation, Obama, Hunter Biden and the Biden Crime Family, etc.....
<><> Another version has bigtime US govt handouts, grants, foreign aid, (and IMF loans like the $5 bill to Ukraine).
Better ask hunter. If he ain’t to busy doin’ art that is.
Masks as political theatre.
Man, this would just start up some box-per-month gimmick, where you get government cheese, beef jerky, 2 rolls of toilet paper a bottle of cheap whiskey and six packs of smokes.
Great discount/rebate factor from the manufacturer to dem lawmakers.
This is how the sausage is made.
Is this from the Bee or Onion?
“Talk about a waste of money. First it will be those dumb paper ones.”
It’s not about the masks.
It’s not about WuFlu.
It’s about funneling our tax dollars to China, where the masks are made. We bought a box of the most common ones — made in Wuhan, China.
I’ll mark mine, “Return To Sender”
The decision will hinge on how much money the mask manufacturers give to the politicians.
give him enough rope..........
he can’t help himself .. he’s playing house and he’s gonna keep pushing commie.. he may not know any better but the citizens of America are getting a belly full.
