CDC Official: Mask Mandates Are ‘Powerful’ Part of ‘Arsenal’

Marty Cetron, director for the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Division of Global Migration and Quarantine, defended the health agency’s federal mask mandate on Thursday, describing masks as a “powerful” part of their “arsenal.”

Speaking to Reuters, Cetron reiterated that the agency’s “current position” is to keep the federal mask mandate, which requires travelers to wear masks on modes of public transportation, including planes and trains, despite mounting calls from lawmakers to end the practice.

I remember some law makers from Texas not wearing a mask on a flight to DC. They should be first to be charged.

The Arsenal of Democracy! We must punish the innocent, and destroy the sane! Masks over you mouth, your nose, your eyes, and now your ears!. Get used to it. Besides, there have got to be advantages, some where?

Masks and social distancing of <528 ft are WEAK measures.

Getting on a bus, train, or plane is ALSO PROBLEMATIC.

the USA?

What if everyone who sees thru this bull chit stopped all nonessential travel for a week!

Temp checks ok
Masks = useless as a screen door on a submarine

Alberta is the most ‘open’ Province in Kanadahar. Even so, Provincial rules require the wearing of masks by all taking public transport: busses, trains, cabs, airplanes, etc. When will the mask requirement be lifted? Likely, only when Prime Mistake True-dope’s eternal residence freezes over. I think that masks will be mandated into the foreseeable future in Kanadahar.

“If that is the case I will never ever fly again.”

A couple of random thoughts. The left has been trying to get everyone else to ride public transportation for at least fifty years. They’ve done everything except ban private cars, and in places they’ve even done that. All the while, public transportation has gotten dirtier, more dangerous and less “friendly.” Covid and the masks may serve to do more damage to this liberal must-have (for everyone else) than anything else. Yes! (Spikes football!)

When fuel was cheap, planes flew with the outside vents open. As fuel prices went up, the vents were closed and the air inside recirculated. Studies conducted fifteen+ years ago indicated that if someone was sick with an air carried virus, then in four hours everyone on the plane would be exposed. Viruses are so small the weaving on a mask would look like an open garage door to a gnat. This means that wearing a mask on a plane would be like carrying a rabbit’s foot to ward off illness.

During the winter months when I wear a hoody, I always pull the hood down when I enter a store. I look at the clerk and smile. Several times a clerk has said “thank you.” Can you imagine how much stress clerks will be under when everyone is wearing a mask?

Given that masks are useless, I wonder why they are even under consideration. It has to be theater.

This "quarantine czar", this jerk-off is lying. There is just no other way to put it. Masks -- even properly selected, applied, fit-tested, worn and maintained masks -- cannot prevent transmission of a respiratory virus. It is not possible, not just based on non-politically compromised "science", but because the way most everyone who is irretrievably ignorant enough to believe in this vile fiction does not know even the basics -- and more importantly the limitations -- of wearing a mask. Masks are fine for dust and pollen and the like, but unless the mask is a non-porous material applied with an airtight seal -- a seal that is constantly maintained -- and is used in conjunction with an air supply/exhaust system, it is just as effective to carry the mask in your pocket (where it at least could be used as a handkerchief) as it is to stick it on your face.

The mask in reality is nothing more than a talisman -- a good luck charm to ward off the evil spirit, covid.
