Most Americans can take a break from masks, new CDC guidelines say
Chicago Tribune ^ | 2/25/2022 | By CARLA K. JOHNSON and MIKE STOBBE

Most Americans live in places where healthy people, including students in schools, can safely take a break from wearing masks under new U.S. guidelines released Friday.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention outlined the new set of measures for communities where COVID-19 is easing its grip, with less of a focus on positive test results and more on what’s happening at hospitals. The new system greatly changes the look of the CDC’s risk map and puts more than 70% of the U.S. population in counties where the coronavirus is posing a low or medium threat to hospitals. Those are the people who can stop wearing masks, the agency said.

The agency is still advising that people, including schoolchildren, wear masks where the risk of COVID-19 is high. That’s the situation in about 37% of U.S. counties, where about 28% of Americans reside.

I love that the headline says “take a break,” as if to imply the masks will DEFINITELY be back. Jerks.

Take a “break”?

Try to end the “break” again in the next hundred years and see how things go down.

Early 1900s, Spanish Flu.

Early 2000s, China Virus.

Early 2100s, call it what you want.

That’s the timetable. Plan accordingly.

Oh, my sister and her family are gonna hate to hear this! She’s still deathly afraid of getting sick, from anything. Doesn’t matter what I have told her all along. She still wants to believe that she is protected if she and everyone around her would just continue to wear these muzzles for the rest of their lives.

The CDC threw away any legitimacy it once had.

Using the term "take a break" gives away that they're still running a scamdemic.

I threw my mask away over a year ago. So did 99% of the people around here. Were we supposed to wait for permission from these incompent clowns?

A lot of people say this what you say—”I stopped with the mask theater some time ago” but remember that there are MILLIONS of still Americans forced against their will to mask up 7 hours a day. Mainly, K-12 (in many states) and college students. Millions. This is welcome news.

Take a “break?”

The only purpose of masks is as a symbol of submission to psychotic control freaks.

Read my lips. No more masks.

“99% of the people around here” is not reflective of the entire US population. Millions remain forcibly masked: students, prisoners, health care workers, servers, bartenders, retail workers, government workers, airline travelers.

COMPARING TRUMP AND BIDEN ON COVID DEATHS (As of 2/25/22)

The media went wild after the reported Covid death toll reached 400,000 on Trumps last day.

Blood on his hands': As US surpasses 400,000 COVID-19 deaths, experts blame Trump administration for a 'preventable' loss of life

On Trump’s Last Full Day, Nation Records 400,000 Covid Deaths

US Covid-19 death toll passes 400,000 on Trump’s last day in office

The reported death toll from Covid now stands at:

946,708 according to Johns Hopkins Covid Tracker

970,862 according to Worldometer Covid Tracker

BIDEN: 546 to 570 thousand reported COVID deaths
TRUMP: 400 thousand reported COVID deaths

Some will say its not fair to blame the deaths that occurred during Biden’s first month in office on his policies. That the daily deaths when he entered office January 20th 2021 were already in the midst of peak. To avoid this criticism, lets skip forward some 6 months into his presidency. By this time Biden’s policies were in full effect and he was “following the science” and “listening to the experts”. Around this time, July 12th 2021 , 50% of Americans were fully vaccinated yet over the next 7 months some 309,000 Americans died of Covid under Biden’s leadership. Compare this 7 month period to Donald Trump’s last 7 months in office. With less than 1% of Americans vaccinated and Trump supposedly “not following the science” or promoting masks… the total amount of Americans that died during this time was 278,000.
