Recommendations are not legally binding.
No and the court said so but they do have quite the blow torch of a bully pulpit. The CDC can’t force states to go along with its rules but some states will do so voluntarily.
The CDC cannot mandate anything. Our local schools have already announced a masks optional plan for the year
Using a disposable facemask to protect against an airborne respiratory virus is like using chicken wire to keep out mosquitos.
They aren’t masks.
They’re muzzles.
Yes, homeschooling is the way to go.
Well now you've added one more myth to the list of Sweden myths. In Sweden 40% have had two shots and 60% at least one shot. Sweden failed to prevent death, with 10 times more death per capita than Norway. At the same time their economy crashed in Q2 last year, by the same amount as ours. Mask wearing wasn't relevant when nobody went out.
The good part is they kept their kids in school throughout and they will be much healthier because of that. They also protected their elderly, vaccinating them first. The bottom line is Sweden's approach, leaving it up to individual choice, is laudable. The outcome is not the worst, 0.14% of the population died, but like I said the other Scandinavian countries did better.
CNN giddy over it. I will never understand these effing retards.
To his credit, Governor Wolf has stated (as of yesterday) that he is not going to implement any mitigation efforts.
62.5% of PA is fully vaxxed...he wants to keep relying on the vaccine and encouraging people to be vaccinated.
Plus he persuaded Biden to hire “cousin it” Dr. Richard (Dickless) aka “Rachel Levine”....with it out of the picture I can watch Wolf’s press conferences again.
Empty the schools and decertify the teacher's unions.
Simon says put on the mask, Simon says take off the mask, Simon says get a shot, Simon says put on the mask….
Some governors will not do this, or so they say.
“...the vast majority of school systems, which are dominated by liberals, will adopt the CDC recommendations.”
My local school where I sub, was in session all of 2020-2021 with masks optional. At the beginning of the year distancing was kind of maintained but as the year progressed and kids weren’t dropping like flies, this was relaxed. Made a mess of the schedule with classes coming and going at separate times, odd lunch hours, etc. Everyone was sick of it by the end of the year.
So people will know: The CDC started out as the Office of National Defense Malaria Control Activities (1942) and ran the National Malaria Eradication Program (NMEP).
Ironically, back then hydroxychloroquine was invented (in 1945) as a treatment for malaria.
You’d think they’d be proud of their past as a malaria-control agency and that they would champion hydroxychloroquine.
Precisely. This doesn’t stand up to even a basic challenge. If this mandate comes down, expect the preliminary injunctions to start flying.
Just remember: The CDC isn’t a law-making entity.
Around these parts in Pennsylvania the local message from the Superintendent in one school district was something like.
“You won’t have to wear masks in the fall students and staff”
“You won’t have to be vaccinated to be here students and staff”
We’ll see what happens.
The Dems will beam with pride at a federal order and the Reps will pass the buck to Biden and file a lawsuit.
