Dr. Anthony Fauci says it might be necessary for Washington to impose a mask mandate on all 50 states, given the worrisome rise in coronavirus cases across the U.S. Fauci made the remarks during an interview on CNN.
Previously Fauci had opposed a federal mask mandate as unworkable and unenforceable.
Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has been urging Americans to use masks for months. “I have trust in the American people that if we put a strong emphasis on the importance of wearing masks, that we will come around and do that and get that percentage up above the relatively low percentage of people that are using masks,” Fauci said on July 21 on NPR’s Morning Edition.
But he has said before that he doesn’t think a federal law would be the way to go.
Earlier this month, a poll found 92 percent of Americans believing that wearing a mask was a good idea. But only about 60 percent wear one. Changing people’s minds about wearing a mask outdoors will be difficult as long as we’re getting mixed messages from public health professionals.
“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.
The obvious difficulty in issuing a federal mask mandate is how to make it enforceable. Maybe we could take a page from the Chinese secret police playbook.

Where is the precious randomized study he is so fond of???
Riddle me this: Why are the jurisdictions with the most draconian mask and lock-down policies still seeing case growth?
Staying far away from people like Fauxcy is the only way to go.
Popular opinion suggests a public hanging mandate may be necessary.
If Bidementia is elected we will have wear two masks, a face mask and one for our rectum.
Vote Trump and then dispose of the Nazi Blue Mask governors.

Tony, where are you looking? Where I live there has to be ninety percent compliance. Except by the beach. About 50/50 there.
Total ass clown
Enforcement might pose a slight problem.
Mosquito -—> Chain-link fence
No herd immunity
No, wait, three words...
While more and more research and more and more studies show that masks don’t work - the Marxists will use these lies to enslave us, and prove they can indeed control us.
Bondage comes to those who accept Marxist lies.
And our whole nation is being deceived.
As our communist party members have long planned.....and for which they have patiently waited for as they brainwashed us for many decades......
“...rise in coronavirus cases across the U.S...”
I heard just a couple days ago that the number of flu cases in the US for the months of September and October 2020, were down 95% from September and October 2019...Hmmmmm????
KC_Lion says stapling Anthony’s mouth shut may be necessary.
How would such a mandate be constitutional? This would clearly be an area that should be left to the states.
RE: Enforcement might pose a slight problem.
Maybe we could take a page from the Chinese secret police playbook. It worked for them.
Watch how the Chicoms do it:
Why are the jurisdictions with the most draconian mask and lock-down policies still seeing case growth?
Because zero of the blue state policies re CV19 had anything to do with the protection of us or our families re CV19.
Hmmm. I think I could find a Guy Fawkes mask somewhere...
Fauci can take those masks and stuff them up his a$$ and down his throat. The masks would definitely be effective used in such a way.
Slippery slope, camels nose in the tent. Use whatever metaphor you want, but if is scary how effortlessly “what could never happen here” is happening here.
