Washington, DC, health officials say the indoor mask mandate, now in its second week, may be in place until Thanksgiving given the rising number of cases and stagnated vaccination rates.

Patrick Ashley, a senior deputy director of the DC health department, told WRC-TV that the mask mandate will likely be in effect for the weeks to come.

“We’re very hopeful that we’ll get back to normal around the holidays,” Ashley said, adding: “We’re hopeful that by Thanksgiving we’ll be in a different spot, but that relies on people getting vaccinated.”

DC has been experiencing a steady climb in COVID cases, and on Monday reported a seven-day average of 125 new COVID cases per day. Meanwhile, vaccination rates have leveled off.

Salem MA has mandated masks until mid November at the earliest. I suspect we will see this trend.

"Why Thanksgiving? Must be SCIENCE AND DATA!!"

Must be the virus mutates quicker when it's near a cooked or uncooked turkey, but only on Thanksgiving, not any other time of the year that people eat turkey.

The CDC was completely silent over the maskless birthday bash held for Obama's 60th. Nor have they said anything about the thousands of untested, and unvaccinated illegals who cross the border every day. Now they want to go back to dictating what I can, and can't do on a National Holiday? Go F*ck yourselves.

.. Ashley said, adding: “We’re hopeful that by Thanksgiving we’ll be in a different spot, but that relies on people getting vaccinated.”

When the Turkey crows!! or croaks...

Who are they kidding. They want you to wear it through the winter to see if it does away with the regular flu.

Maybe that will be the Trade off....Masks forever but no annual flu shot?

There is absolutely no reason to wear a mask.

And I will continue to go maskless…everywhere and at all times.

They are so worried about freaking turkey instead of those 1million unvaccinated illegals who were never tested were permitted to freely invade our nation. They were quietly flying them across the nation.....Didn’t bother them damn diddley squat. Those super spreaders illegals were given a pass. We personally know border patrol agents that got sick with corona because many of those illegal immigrants were heavily ill when they cross the border with corona. They mentioned how the cheating Joe’s administration were rapidly flying off thousands upon thousands of invaders to other parts of the nation. This was their grand scheme all along. To lock us down again. They had it planned to a T! Once the evil evil bastards wrap their arms around control and cheating they never let go. As for freedom it’s cooked put a fork in her, she’s done fur!

Exactly. They have said the same thing for every holiday. Than just before they move the goal posts again.

They are always hopeful. Until their hope doesn’t produce results.

Of course, and when Thanksgiving rolls around, they will cancel it and Christmas again.

They are trying to remove from our culture all our traditions that identify us as Americans and then replacing them with their own creations, like Juneteenth.

Thanksgiving perhaps in a couple of years? A decade? This is too useful for the totalitarians to give it up.
