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.

Why do you wear face diapers? Wife and I went shopping today at Safeway Foods, Petco, and Tractor Supply with no diapers. Most, but not all of those conditioned were happy to be breathing their own CO2.
“Hmmmm, 5pm, that reminds me, Time to call Master Bill Gates and let him know how our globalist, NWO ‘you will obey the mask’ plan snowing the sheeple is going along”
I am so sorry for you. Why don't have have some courage and RESIST!?
The models were all wrong,the statistics are all wrong,the scenarios/protocols are all wrong as well as the science was all wrong but these a-hole keep spouting.
I WON’T WEAR ONE and you cannot make millions of us comply. Why would you want to force this on Americans? Why do you post at a place called “Free Republic” when you want all Americans to have a mask?

Problem is you can't trust state and local governments either and if a Governor or Mayor can make you wear a mask what else can they make you do? Civilian use of masks don't work. They are misworn and bacteria spreads per the original view and research. That's why Fauci and the Surgeon General originally said masks don't work and people in the general population should not be walking around wearing a mask - it just makes you feel good.
Could save a lot more by not aborting babies.
Nope not me. I am around hundreds of mask rebels every week. It’s a bunch of bullshit.
Itll
Stop
November 4
Its such a smart virus
I agree! I see the effects of my crappy masks every time I wear them and as I try to make them work properly. I go into a air conditioned store and my mask leaks around my nose and fogs up my glasses. When I inhale, air comes in around my nose and enters my lungs. If I was not paying attention, I would be kidding myself those damned masks were protecting me and others. I wonder if there is a class action lawsuit that would get those mask manufacturers to start making the masks that do the job.
Has anyone died from anything else since February?
It has become hijab. Hence demands to wear it in video conferences and when you’re alone in your yard.
Pardon any grammatical error in my post. I am so angry about the state-of-art of mask effectiveness at this late state of the epidemic, I can barely keep it together!
The London Imperial Model and its researchers should have been burned.
They predicted 150 million plus dead from bird flu. They predicted 50,000 dead from mad cow disease. Both were off by a factor of a thousand. When they have a HISTORY of bad disease models, it was wrong to base any policies off of their predictions.
I’ll also add that locals and states are the problem. They are the ones doing the shutdown. Not the Federal governments. And if Biden gets elected he is going to lobby all the states and locals to do whatever he wants. Giving your local government the power to decide what you need to wear is not the answer. The answer is to do what Trump said Pennsylvanian people are going to eventually have to start doing - just ignore the governors and mayors and open everything up.
Bullshit
I resist on things that matter. Such as guns, voting, taxes, immigration etc. Wearing a mask is trivial burden.
Will masks stop heart attacks, car accidents, alcohol ODs, and all the other causes that have been ignored so the inflated COVID death count would be more ‘newsworthy’?
