Lightfoot: If Cases Rise, We’ll Look at Mask Mandate and ‘Other Tools That We’ve Been Compelled to Use’
Breitbart ^ | 07/26/2021 | Ian Hatchett

Posted on 07/27/2021 1:27:39 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

During an interview with The New York Times‘ “Sway” podcast released on Monday, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) said that if the city’s daily case rate is consistently over 200 cases per day, “we’re not only going to look at a mask mandate, but we’re going to look back at other tools that we’ve been compelled to use.”

Lightfoot said, [relevant remarks begin around 9:40] “Well, look, if we get back into an area where we feel like we’re in a red zone, which we are working very hard to make sure that our daily case rate is below 200, if we start to see consistently going over that, we’re not only going to look at a mask mandate, but we’re going to look back at other tools that we’ve been compelled to use. I hope we don’t get there. What we’re going to keep focusing on is pushing vaccine. But my number one priority is to keep people safe.”

FWIW, I think the survival rate is more likely due to very good trauma care. Sadly, they get a lot practice.

Hasn’t worked for 1-1/2 years, but sure, lets try all this crap again.

Distraction, just like the show trials in DC for the January “riot.” Democrats have no solutions other than more of the same failed policies.

So what’s the crazy, fat , ugly lesbian doing about the skyrocketing murder rates in Chicago then?
Give the killers a mask too?
I’m sure they’d just love that

Interesting how this is phrased. it seems to reveal the true intent which is to punish the public, rather than to mandate masks due to any health benefits.

Hey Lightfoot, I know this may force you to stretch your limited knowledge base, but HCL and/or Ivermectin taken prophylactically could stop the hospitalizations and save money and lives.

Not that you give a damn.
