Fauci says it might be time to mandate masks as Covid-19 surges across US

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.

Absolutely NO proof masks work. Especially for this virus.

and if they STILL don't. What then? Debilitating fines? Prison time? Take their house? Re-education camp? Take their children?

This PIAPS-loving, little, communist weasel and Scarf should be arrested, tried and executed for mass murder and crimes against humanity...preferably by public hanging with no hood.

Masks are mandated in our state, but why are our numbers on the increase? What I see is there is no explanation for the increases. Each person who gets infected should have intensive investigation into where they may have picked up the virus. Then, that information should be made available to the public. That way everyone will know what kind of situations to avoid.

The positives surge, but because:

1. We have way better understanding of how to actually treat people.
2. Better understanding of how Vitamins C, D, E and K plus supplemental zinc can dramatically reduce the effect of the disease.

The result is even with the rise in positives, we're not going to have the death rate of March to May 2020.

We have masks all over NC but folks still get the virus, makes no sense. Maybe it helps but maybe not, no one knows so we should have freedom.
