But he has said before that he doesn't think a federal law would be the way to go.
"I don't like to be authoritarian from the federal government, but at the local level, if governors and others essentially mandate the use of masks when you have an outbreak, I think that would be very important," Fauci told Alabama Sen. Doug Jones during a Facebook live event in July.
Until now.
"Well, if people are not wearing masks, then maybe we should be mandating it," Fauci told CNN's Erin Burnett Friday.
Christie urges Americans to wear a mask and says they are not a 'partisan or cultural symbol' Christie urges Americans to wear a mask and says they are not a 'partisan or cultural symbol' Covid-19 has been worsening across the United States, with cases rising in 32 states Friday and holding steady in 17 more. The University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation said the country was entering a winter surge as new infections passed 75,000 in a single day on Friday and more than 800 deaths were reported.
Mask mandates may be tricky to enforce, but it might be time to call for them, Fauci said.
"There's going to be a difficulty enforcing it, but if everyone agrees that this is something that's important and they mandate it and everybody pulls together and says, you know, we're going to mandate it but let's just do it, I think that would be a great idea to have everybody do it uniformly," he said.

Thank YOU!
Open up NOW!
End the mask mandates!
How are we doing with ventilators, do we have enough ventilators ???!!!
Well, I’ll never vote for HIM again.....oh wait.
Someone yank this guy off the stage . . .
Screw face diapers.
I’m dead serious.
Na. He’ll recruit some ambitious young up and coming young lads in brown uniforms to do it.
I agree. We know from studies that masks/face coverings are not effective except in very limited circumstances in controlled environments. Why this man persists in his lies aggravates me.
Just shut up Fauchi.
Go away.
Drop dead.
Zip it.
Just wish Trump will conteract him in someway. Just find a way. Please. Trump is a little lazy. Arrrhh.
Just do something Trump.
According to the one person who always shows up on the FluBros threads, 200,000!
And you’re next!
/omg, just stop
:D
You may be right but that’s not the point. The point is, who in the ef is he talking about. Everywhere I go, people are wearing masks. I do not wear one when driving or walking outside but put one on when I go into a business. Why? Because the will not do business with you if you are not wearing one. And two - the state will shut the business down if someone complains. But the point remains - who is he talking about. The vast majority are wearing masks. Or does he want 100 percent compliance. Never going to happen. There is nothing out there getting 100 percent compliance.
In my county, we are punished collectively if the “testing isn’t high enough.” Schools must stay closed until we test more.
So moms, desperate to get schools open for their kids, go get tested even symptomless.
My county even went to Kaiser and told them to stop requiring symptoms or physician orders before allowing testing.
And we have an “equity metric” so that if certain low income cities in our county have higher infection rates than the county in general, restaurants have to stay closed.
The day after Biden talks mandated masks Fauci agrees. What were the odds.
The Fauci Deep State last ditch effort to scare people into staying away from the polling stations. This QUACK MINIDICTATOR NEEDS TO STFU.
How many more idiotic statements is this deep state pimp going to make??
And the COMMIE NEWS NETWORK is his mouthpiece? Duhhhh....
They obviously want to CRASH the economy again and close businesses again because the Trump economy rebounded and they want to kill more American’s incomes.
Masks are worthless!
Yes, that's what this is all ultimately about. Forcing us to submit to our overlords, as instinctive, expected behavior.
And if we don't, they want us punished. Arrests for not wearing masks in certain cities are already taking place.
Thank God we have a President who has common sense.
Give a munchkin a little authority and stand back.
NO MORE LOCKDOWNS....
Time for beddie byes....
Well there you go. So pretty much the county is kind of pushing to get tested which would push up cases. This seems nefarious to me since even if a person had a case of it the odds are the person would survive but with more cases you will get more hysteria and more edicts from the governments.
Sinister me thinks.

Been teaching 1 class online. Administration wants to move classes back to face-to-face. I have to decline. I can’t stand wearing a mask more than 10-15 minutes at a time. Dizziness, sweating like a pig, fogged glasses, overheating etc. No way can I do it for 3 hours at a time. Speech is mumbled and hearing is impaired. It’s like everyone taking through a bad McDonald’s drive through.
Maybe people need to stop wearing those defective one way masks. What happens when you accidentally put the mask on backwards?
Seriously though, what happens to the viral load when a mask wearer constantly exhales and re-inhales the virus? Does that not make them more infectious?
