Dianne Feinstein Proposes Withholding Coronavirus Relief for States Without Mask Mandates
Breitbart ^ | July 16 2020 | SEAN MORAN

Posted on 07/17/2020 4:32:29 AM PDT by knighthawk

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) said in a statement on Thursday that she will propose an amendment to the next coronavirus aid legislation that would withhold aid to states that do not have a mask mandate.

Feinstein said:

In the last two weeks, 41 states saw an increase in coronavirus cases, with a total of 3.5 million infected nationwide. California, Florida and New York each topped 300,000 cases, and Texas will soon follow. We’ve seen 60,000 new cases in five of the last six days. We’re failing to control this virus and it’s time for serious action.

This crap has got to end. Where are cases rising most? In places WITH mask mandates. Now my governor has issued a statewide mask order with a very small uptick in cases. Our liberties are being trampled and it amazes me his no one protests or even thinks this is a bad thing

This is psychological conditioning. They want to mandate masks in public now, so that the public will be more willing to accept the mandatory “vaccine” later this year.

The mask is just another liberal cult belief.

I wonder what this person does for a daily routine? Does she go to her chambers or office often? How often does she show up for debates? Does she need assistance getting dressed or for even eating?

"This is psychological conditioning. They want to mandate masks in public now, so that the public will be more willing to accept the mandatory “vaccine” later this year."

This horse left the stable a long time ago. When governments at all levels sought to demonize smokers, push the junk science surrounding second hand smoke to whip people into a frenzy, and began dictating to private property owners what legal activities they could not allow on their own property (i.e. banning smoking in restaurants, bars, etc.) the precedents for psychological conditioning were already in place.

Those who object to wearing masks are the new smokers. Anybody who endorsed, supported or frankly, didn't oppose smoking bans in public outdoor areas has no moral basis for objecting to wear a mask during this pandemic. They helped make it happen, and should wear their mask proudly. They were happy to foist government sponsored behavior modification on others, so I hope they enjoy the fruits of their labor.

Herd immunity is GREAT NEWS.

Cases going up and deaths going down is what we want...

I hate Democrats and all other Mask-Holes.

A lot of people are just lemmings, sheep or cattle. You can take your pick. They live in fear because they believe what they are seeing. This is about control. Right here on FR there was a very conclusive post about masks and the studies done over the years by very qualified researchers and they are not effective at all in curtailing the spread of a virus. This is a man made attack meant to bring us under the heel of our masters and scare us into taking a vaccine. I’m going to say it now and tell people that there will be a very strong attempt to make the vaccine mandatory as well. People need to wake up, turn their hearts to Jesus and trust him.

Yup. Trump said masks would be voluntary them suddenly they’re not. He said vaccine would be voluntary but we can see where this is heading.

Sorry, cannot believe your numbers. Wait a few weeks for the data to go to HHS and let’s see if a large drop all of a sudden happens.

I have yet to see any proof or stats that show masks are working. For instance New Mexico has had very strict masking rules, social distancing rules and business closings since this whole mess started. The number of cases have increased lately so obviously it’s not working. Has anyone seen any stats that prove the masks are working? Our government loves stats and I find this lack of one interesting.

Covid numbers are horribly skewed and we all know that. The death rate is amazingly low. States like New York that put Covid patients in nursing home are responsible for many deaths. Others who have died have been grossly overweight and have ignored their other health conditions. Masks are only about control. Time to fight back!

Coming from the old witch who had a Chinese Commie Spy as a driver for 20 years...

The fact that she remains a sitting U.S. Senator should scare the hell out of everyone.

Gov. Wolf in PA just withheld federal WuFlu aid from Lebanon County in PA because they weren’t abiding by his diktats.

Note to Trump: Aid can’t go through state capitals, sir. Pols have shown they can’t be trusted with it.

Senator Feinstein needs a refresher course in basic math.

There have been 43.4 million tests in the USA.

The percentage of positive tests - 8.2% - has held steady for almost two weeks.

The number of positive tests is increasing because the total number of tests performed is increasing.

If we tested every person in the USA - for infection or antibodies - we would have a 10%-11% total infection rate.

That rate is very similar to the total rate in many parts of Europe.

Perhaps there’s a way to consolidate these threads?

A mask doesn't infringe on liberty. A mask may not be very effective in some cases, but there is plenty of evidence for effectiveness, and I am about to update my profile with the study: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6928e2.htm?s_cid=mm6928e2_w
