Dr. Ashish Jha, President Biden's COVID-19 coordinator, voiced support on Sunday for Los Angeles County preparing to bring back its mask mandate, as the area has seen a surge in coronavirus cases driven by the BA.5 variant of the omicron strain.
Los Angeles is on pace to bring back its universal indoor mask mandate on July 29, unless the county drops below the CDC's "high" transmission threshold by that point. Jha was asked about Los Angeles' move to bring back its mask mandate during his appearance on ABC's "This Week."
"My view on this has been very clear, which is local jurisdictions, cities, counties, states should make decisions about mask mandates because communities are different and their patterns of transmission are different," Jha explained.
"That said, CDC has very clear guidance on this as well through their COVID community levels. And the CDC recommendation is that when you're in a high zone, that sort of orange zone as L.A. County is, you know, people wearing masks indoors is really important, and it really will make a difference."
Earlier in the interview, Jha said that it's "really important to remind people of the science, the public health science and the public health science is very clear. If you're in a crowded indoor space, especially if it's poorly ventilated, wearing a mask reduces your risk of infection and reduces your risk of spreading it to others. So we've got to continue to encourage people to do that."

They can stuff their mask mandates. The masks didn’t work the last time. Nothing has changed.

Yes he’s correct the science is clear. It is clear that wearing a mask indoors does absolutely nothing to reduce your risk of catching CoViD. We have data from multiple peer review studies from around the world. Yet they still spread disinformation. Things that make you go hmmm 🤔

Expect this bizarre form of mask-everyone mental illness to being ramped up the closer we get to mid-terms. It’s all about justifying mail-in voting in blue cities.
Why not? It worked so well before. Hardly anyone in CA caught COVId. ~sarc
And the sun rose this morning too.
That's a given.
Dementia Joe's CDC ALWAYS supports lockdowns when elections are due, so the Dems can cheat at elections.
Dear Dr. Ashish Jha, please drop to your knees and then proceed to firmly plant your LIPS directly on my ASS.
Those aren’t masks.
They’re muzzles.
An exercise in futility.
Masks. Do. Not. Work. At least not for purposes of stopping the spread of COVID-19 Wuhan virus, or for that matter virtually every other form of virus. Virus particles float through virtually all materials used for masking like mosquitos go through a chain-link fence.
These tinpot tyrants may be surprised. People may just not do it.
Well of course, they want to bring the masks back, but even in LA, the people will have none of that.
We wore clip on face shields 99% of the time while under mask “rules”. No cloth or n95s. We never got “it” as far as we know. Also lots of exposure. 🔬😵😷💉🚫. We remain “NON GMO “.
They are trying to see if we are still Weenie enough to Just Follow Orders. Resist.
I will voluntarily wear a mask in medical buildings where sick or vulnerable people HAVE to go. For their comfort. That’s it.
You’re not here, are y’all? Already in my local stores it’s about 20-30% of shoppers masked. And masking their kids again. ☹️
I know, glad. Even our resident democrat dictator, Clay Jenkins, will not bring up masks.
“Not on the left cheek, not on the right cheek, but right in the middle”.
Unofficial survey yesterday at my local Walmart. You have to go by 30-35 people before you see 1 mask. So about 2-3%. But about half of the mask wearers think Covid is transmitted through the chin.
It’s a trial balloon for ordering mandates and lockdowns that will necessitate mail-in ballots for the midterms.
If you’re in a crowded indoor space, especially if it’s poorly ventilated, wearing a mask reduces your risk of infection and reduces your risk of spreading it to others, as well as preventing ornal sex and the spread of monkeypox.
Why not tell people COVID is over 99% survivable , oh wait can’t let the truth out
I have seen many people do that...So silly...If a person is really serious about wearing a mask, he should always keep the nose and mouth covered...
In the past, I have won masks with my nose not covered...I am not a believer in masks...
