Evidence has shown COVID cases and hospitalizations tend to rise during the colder months when people congregate indoors. Some health officials warn the virus could surge again in December and January. 
Currently, cases and hospitalizations are on the decline in the U.S. after having peaked in late July, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 
Those who are vaccinated and boosted are at much lower risk of falling severely ill and dying from COVID-19. CDC data shows unvaccinated Americans have a five times higher risk of dying compared to those who've received just a primary series and a seven times higher risk of dying compared to those who also received at least one booster dose. 
Experts told ABC News that while vaccination is the best protection against COVID-19, some people may need to consider masking to protect themselves in case infections rise.

    What? They don't have another virus ready to kill more jobs and small businesses? This has gotten to the point of absurdity. BTW, winter is cold and flu season in case anyone has forgotten. 
My ex-wife went to the hospital ER for a bad fall and the covid test showed positive and now she's in quarantine for who knows how long. She has NO symptoms.

    I did the math on masks. It’s comparable to putting up posts two miles apart to keep people from driving on your property.

    The Chinese still have them when they go around collecting cans and bottles. Karens still have them on when they drive alone.

    Should be a good thread with self-proclaimed FRoctors providing their medical opinions.

    Almost all of the current mask-wearers are women, negroes or both.

    "Should masks return in fall and winter to prevent a COVID surge?"
 I don't know. I'm mentally healthy, don't have any magic vitamins, herbs or wormers to sell to you and have no genocidal impulse against the population in my own country.

    And I’m not Chinese or Russian. So take reasonable, sane measures to protect and improve your health.

    NO MASKS!..... but how about a little "IVERMECTIN" that they lied about to make money on the vaccine stocks! 
Proven nearly 100% effective in killing off the Covid crap!
Here's a 14 minute little video that will prove the massive lies and the purpose for them.

    Only for people dropping of multiple ballots at drop boxes.
