That, in addition to survey evidence showing that people are still not wearing masks in public places, led Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for the last three decades, to advocate for a national mask mandate. Previously, Fauci has generally stopped short of saying that the American people should be required to wear masks under a mandate.
The authors of the new University of Washington study arrived at their figures by using a model based on the following assumptions:
If closer to 85% of the U.S. population wore masks in public, under the same assumptions above, the researchers calculated that 96,000 lives would be saved between September 2020 and February 2021.
In the absence of a universal mask mandate, the researchers forecast that approximately 511,000 people total will have died from COVID-19 in the U.S. by February 2021.

“Could”
Ok, I could be a contender...
They’re just pulling numbers out of thin air now.
Hey now...they did say “could”....
If words were weasels we could make some killer fur coats!
This I agree with, I would go even more local to mayors and city councils.
Fauci is so full of crap.
Masks save ZERO lives, they are political theater and a psychological crutch. Some 70% of the newly diagnosed COVID cases are contracted by persons who wear a mask regularly.
In fact masks, by constantly recirculating the virus-particle laden moisture droplets that cling to the mask with every exhalation by a person who may already have a culture growing in nasal and lung tissue, may greatly exacerbate the onset and progression of the disease.
Under what authority would such a mandate be produced?
The sheeple control amendment to the US Constitution?
I never wear the face diaper and have only been challenged once. And that once they were told to go F themselves
Think of the lives we would save if...
We used only mass transit
We quit red meat
We turned in our guns
We gave up hateful religion
We spoke only to affirm people’s choices
We used less energy
We did not use alcohol
We got rid of all the harmful chemicals like chlorine and carbon
Yes indeed the Fearful Free Republic showed just how far some so called conservatives would go in sacrificing our liberties to protect their stay at home and collect a government check lives. Now that the die is set, the left can just crank out one life saving cause after another or one Covid out break after another.
The more we wear masks, the higher the count goes.
Again, nothing to see here.
Without a national mask mandate, around 225,000 deaths have occurred over about 10 months. But over the next 3 months, 100,000 people will die per month if we don’t have a mask mandate. - The University of Washington and Fauci if he agrees
Masks do nothing. Touching infected objects and then touching the face is what is spreading Corvid. No matter how much a store/shop cleans, a Corvid positive client can touch those places and a Covid negative person can touch them before the cleaning crew goes back over those spots. Then people touch their eyes or rub their nose and new case. I detailed my Wife and my protocol on a number of threads. We are disease free.
Hospitals get bonus money from the Feds for Covid-related deaths.
He’s lying. Surveys of people who have already contracted COVID-19 tell us that 70 percent wore their masks in public all the time. That means that only 8000 deaths per month were from the people that didn’t wear masks during this 8 month period. In order for there to be 140,000 MORE deaths in the next three months, the death rate from the disease would have to grow higher by a factor of five.
What’s noteworthy, is that the death rate is going down, not up.
Is h on Federal payroll?
I wonder how the Karens are going to react this winter when they see all that breath coming from all those flimsy masks.
If Trump agrees to this, I WILL STAY HOME ON ELECTION DAY.
I don't think he will, though.
I always wear a mask when it’s required indoors. I never wear a mask outdoors and if people are upset, stay the hell away from me.
