"The coverings need to be at least two or more layers of breathable fabric secured to the head with ties, ear loops or elastic bands," CNN reports.
The Center for Disease Control has issued a new coronavirus order requiring DOUBLE masks to be worn for all forms of public transportation in the United States.
From CNN:
The CDC announced an order late Friday that will require people to wear a face mask while using any form of public transportation, including buses, trains, taxis, airplanes, boats, subways or ride-share vehicles while traveling into, within and out of the US.
The order goes into effect at 11:59 p.m. Monday.
Masks must be worn while waiting, boarding, traveling and disembarking, it said. The coverings need to be at least two or more layers of breathable fabric secured to the head with ties, ear loops or elastic bands — and scarves and bandanas do not count, the order says.
The CDC said it reserves the right to enforce the order through criminal penalties, but it “strongly encourages and anticipates widespread voluntary compliance” and expects support from other federal agencies to implement the order.
Do you have another source?
NOT TWO MASKS. The mask has to have at least two layers of fabric. Every surgical mask I have purchased has two layers. The standard has a white layer and a blue layer, although I have some that are two a white layer and a black layer.
Confucious say: Is impossible to look intelligent while wearing panty hose on head
I suppose we’re to be grateful when we’re “forced” to only wear one?
Well then we’ll just have to drive and put the airlines out of business.
😂
The order is extreme but as others have pointed out it is not two masks despite the headline (consider the source) and it is not that "the coverings need to be at least two or more layers of breathable fabric." A little reading of the actual order states that "Cloth masks should be made with two or more layers of a breathable fabric that is tightly woven (i.e., fabrics that do not let light pass through when held up to a light source)." and "Medical masks and N-95 respirators fulfill the requirements of the Order." (My flashlight can get some light thru thru N95 masks.)
This follows a CDC mandate (CDC—No Longer Constrained By Trump—Issues Order That Makes Not Wearing A Mask On Public Transportation A Federal Crime) requiring masks on all Fed property and roads but with one notable exception (besides others:
Interstate traffic does not include the following: (i) The movement of any conveyance which is solely for the purpose of unloading persons or property transported from a foreign country or loading persons or property for transportation to a foreign country.
I live some among mostly immigrants (thank God) but do not wear use public trans or Fed roads.
No, they thought of that also: "Cloth masks should be made with two or more layers of a breathable fabric that is tightly woven (i.e., fabrics that do not let light pass through when held up to a light source)."
Well, piss on them, then. Good thing I’m not going anywhere I can’t drive to.
‘Pence: Snake in the grass.’
nope; the buck stops at the top...Trump is responsible for Fauci and Redfield, and any of the damage they’ve done...
Pence is responsible for getting them — also Birx.
Trump is responsible for keeping them.
